Barcelona wanted to offer Sheshko instead of Lewandowski

Manchester United football club has recently added 22-year-old forward Benjamin Sheshko to its squad. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

He previously played for Germany's RB Leipzig team for two years. The new contract was signed for five years.

According to the agreement between the clubs, a total of 85 million euros will be paid for the player's transfer, including bonuses. Reports indicate that Spain's famous club Barcelona also planned to add Benjamin Sheshko to its squad.

The club's sports director Deco saw the player as a replacement for Robert Lewandowski. Barcelona intended to make an offer next summer after parting ways with the Polish forward.

However, this opportunity has now lost its significance, as the player has already moved to the English giant. Sheshko's transfer has attracted the attention of the football community.

Despite his young age, he has experience playing at a high level and is expected to be one of the main forwards in his new team. Manchester United aims to strengthen its attacking line through this transfer.
