Sesko Deal Set to Cost Man United More as Add-Ons Activate

Performance-linked add-ons look set to activate with United close to Champions League entry.

Overview

  • Following Monday's win over Brentford, reports in Germany say Benjamin Sesko has hit performance targets that trigger extra payments.
  • Sky Germany reporters Philipp Hinze and Florian Plettenberg say the total package is about €85m, built on a €76.5m initial fee plus roughly €4m expected this season.
  • A further €4.5m could still be due if more targets are met, including those tied to Champions League qualification.
  • The agreement also includes a future friendly against RB Leipzig with Leipzig keeping the match revenue, an uncommon clause that shifts income from that event.
  • Sesko has 11 goals for United this season, including six since Michael Carrick took over in January, with Carrick saying the striker will be judged on goals.
