The Story in 60 Seconds

Juventus is reportedly monitoring Manchester United forward Benjamin Sesko ahead of a planned striker pursuit next summer, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. The Italian club is assessing long-term options to succeed Nick Woltemade, who is currently in Turin on a season-long loan from Newcastle United. Alongside Sesko, Monaco's Folarin Balogun and Sunderland forward Brian Brobbey are also listed as potential targets.

Sesko, who joined Manchester United from RB Leipzig for £73.7 million, has faced competition from Matheus Cunha for a starting role while also dealing with recurring shin problems. The writer for The Peoples Person argues that Manchester United is unlikely to part with the 23-year-old, suggesting Juventus would have a much better chance pursuing Joshua Zirkzee instead.
