Barcelona eye Man United star as transfer backup plan | OneFootball

La Liga giants Barcelona are keeping a close eye on the situation of Manchester United star Benjamin Šeško with a view to next season.

This comes amid an ongoing search for centre-forward reinforcements at the Spotify Camp Nou.

It is of course common knowledge at this point that, following the departure of Robert Lewandowski on a free transfer, Barcelona are on the lookout for a new goalscorer this summer.

The Blaugrana have identified Julián Alvarez of La Liga rivals Atlético Madrid as their no.1 target to fill the role.

In the knowledge that those in the boardroom at the Metropolitano will do whatever it takes to keep hold of their star frontman, though, Deco and co. have been forced to draw up a shortlist of alternatives, too.

Enter the picture, the aforementioned Benjamin Šeško…

As per a report from Fichajes, citing fellow Spanish outlet Marca, Barca are keen admirers of the talents boasted by Manchester United’s young hitman, closely monitoring his situation at Old Trafford as a result.

The Slovenian is far from the only striker on the Camp Nou watchlist, though, with the Spanish champions also considering bids for Karl Etta Eyong (Levante) and Serhou Guirassy (Borussia Dortmund).
