RB Salzburg's hilarious price tag for Benjamin Sesko might just throw you off the chair laughing. The Slovenian is one of the most highly-rated teenage forwards in Europe and a few top clubs including Bayern Munich and Manchester United are monitoring his progress.
Sesko was inducted to the senior team in the previous campaign and in just 1570 minutes he scored 11 goals and provided seven assists across all competitions for Salzburg.
With Cristiano Ronaldo adamant to leave Old Trafford for Champions League football, United are interested to land the youngster to reinforce their attack.
What was the tweet from Red Bull Salzburg regarding Sesko's price tag?
Transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano mentioned that although Manchester United are closely monitoring Sesko, the Premier League club will not make an imminent move for him. He also informed that Newcastle United are also keeping a tab on the youngster.
Responding to the tweet then RB Salzburg said, "We want 300 million + Bruno".
This is, by all means, an absurd price tag and it was tweeted just to invoke humour. The teenager is undoubtedly talented but far from being the costliest player on the planet.
Salzburg are aware of the interest of United, Newcastle and Bayern and there are reports that the club values the player at £55 million ($66m).
Who else are Manchester United looking at?
Manchester United have signed Christian Eriksen, Lisandro Martinez, and Tyrell Malacia in the summer transfer window. But more movement is expected at Old Trafford before the window slams shut.
They have been patiently waiting for Frankie de Jong as talks have stalled even after United agreed to pay £71 million ($84m). However, the Dutchman is inclined to continue at Barcelona and continues to be a part of Barca's pre-season preparations.
United have lined up a few alternatives to De Jong and Lazio star Sergej Milinkovic-Savic is said to sit at the top of that list. Ruben Neves, Youri Tielemans, and Declan Rice are also options that Erik ten Hag could consider.
United are also looking at Brazilian forward Antony, who is keen to swap Amsterdam for Manchester. But Ajax are standing firm on their hefty £68m ($80m) asking price which is acting as a stumbling block.
