FACT-CHECK: No Deal Completed for Benjamin Šeško to Manchester United – “Here We Go” Rumors Are False
Despite the excitement swirling online and viral posts claiming Fabrizio Romano has delivered his iconic “Here We Go” confirmation for Benjamin Šeško to Manchester United, no official agreement has been finalized.
As of August 5, 2025, there is no credible confirmation that the Slovenian forward is heading to Old Trafford.
Several fan-driven sources and speculative accounts across social media have suggested that Manchester United have secured an €85 million deal for Šeško — consisting of €80 million plus €5 million in performance-based add-ons.
However, after checking with verified sources and Romano’s own updates, it’s clear that these claims are not accurate.
What’s Actually Happening:
Manchester United have genuine interest in Benjamin Šeško, and discussions with RB Leipzig are indeed ongoing.
The 21-year-old striker has attracted the attention of top European clubs, including Newcastle United, who have already tabled a concrete offer reported to be €75 million plus €5 million in add-ons. However, that bid was swiftly turned down by the Bundesliga side.
Leipzig are holding firm in their valuation. They reportedly want €80 million up front, plus €10 million in add-ons, and may also seek a sell-on clause as part of the agreement — making the deal more complicated than initially thought.
Manchester United are still weighing up a second offer and are expected to return to the negotiation table.
However, contrary to the trending posts, no deal has been agreed, and no player medical has been scheduled.
What Fabrizio Romano Actually Said:
While Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Šeško remains one of United’s striker targets, he has not issued his trademark “Here We Go” phrase. According to his latest updates, Romano stated:
“Benjamin Šeško remains on United’s striker shortlist; Leipzig’s price is high. United are exploring options.”
This directly contradicts the false narrative that a full agreement is in place. Until Romano or an official club source provides direct confirmation, fans should treat any viral reports with caution.
