FC Barcelona has reportedly identified Benjamin Sesko as a summer target, intensifying its rivalry with Manchester United. After failing to secure Marcus Rashford permanently following his loan stint, Barcelona's leadership is now interested in Sesko if their pursuit of Julian Alvarez does not materialize. The Catalan club's decision to prioritize Sesko comes after an unsuccessful £87 million bid for Alvarez. Meanwhile, Manchester United is looking to offload Rashford's high salary while managing competing interests in Sesko, who is also on United's radar as a forward option.
