Juventus weigh January Sesko interest, but no bid yet
The situation
Juventus are weighing up a January move for Benjamin Sesko, according to reports out of Italy this week, with the Manchester United forward named as one of several strikers the Serie A club are assessing after a reported €100m transfer budget boost. The same reports note Sesko is currently injured and that United's season with him has been difficult, but there is no sign of talks, a bid or any approach. Folarin Balogun and Nick Woltemade are mentioned as alternatives Juventus are also looking at, which tells its own story about how firm this interest really is.
The reporting
Calciomercato.it first reported it on 3 November, naming Sesko as the first of five striker targets on their list. Transfer News Live and Sport Witness have since relayed that Calciomercato line, and CaughtOffside has carried a similar version too, but all of it traces back to the one Italian outlet. No trusted reporter has backed any of it, and nothing here moves beyond interest being considered.
The outlook
The chance of this happening before the January window shuts is slim. Sesko has 42 months left on his contract from 1 January 2027, United paid heavily for him only last year, and there is no indication they want to sell an injured, expensively bought striker after one and a half seasons. Juventus weighing several names at once, rather than pursuing one man, only reinforces how early and loose this is.
What happens next
Any real movement would need Juventus to settle on Sesko over Balogun and Woltemade, then table an actual bid once the window opens on 1 January.
