He has since netted 14 goals in 38 competitive matches.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Standing at 1.95m, Sesko is a poacher in every sense of the word and has an imposing presence inside the box. He is surprisingly great at link-up play as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report points out that Sesko is currently valued at \u20ac75 million and his future will be evaluated at the end of the season. <\/p>\n<p>Should Barcelona go after Sesko?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/manchester-united-v-brighton-and-hove-albion-carabao-cup-third-round-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Benjamin Sesko, Manchester United player\" class=\"wp-image-214635\"  \/>Is Sesko the ideal Lewandowski replacement? (Photo by Alex Livesey\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s no doubt that Sesko is a top class striker who has the ability to lead the frontline of any top club in Europe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, as far as Barcelona are concerned, the club could use the services of a more mobile number nine, who is not afraid break his lines and operate dynamically in the final third.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is part of the reason why the club were desperate go after Alvarez this summer and also why Raphinha is doing so well this season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keeping that in mind, Sesko might not be the ideal candidate for the Blaugrana, especially given that he is going to cost a fortune next summer. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Barcelona missing out on top target Julian Alvarez in the summer has turned out to be a blessing&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":871448,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[418,49042,28983,6593,3788,403,99],"class_list":["post-871447","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-barcelona","tag-barcelona-news","tag-benjamin-sesko","tag-juventus","tag-manchester-united","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/871447","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=871447"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/871447\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/871448"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=871447"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=871447"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=871447"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
