Benjamin Sesko, the talented young striker from RB Leipzig, has been making waves across Europe with his impressive performances in the last two seasons. His goal-scoring abilities have caught the attention of top clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United, who have all been given a new price tag for his transfer this summer.
Sesko has been a key player for Leipzig, helping them climb to fourth in the Bundesliga this season with his 18 goals. Despite having a "gentleman's agreement" with the club allowing him to be sold for £60m, the Slovenian international believes it is time for him to move on to a team with ambitions of winning both domestic and European trophies.
The relatively low fee of £60m has sparked interest from several clubs, including Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United. However, German outlet Bild reports that Leipzig actually intend to sell Sesko for 100m euros, making him their most expensive sale ever. This would surpass the record set by Josko Gvardiol, who was sold to Manchester City for £77m in 2023.
With the summer transfer window approaching, Sesko is expected to be the subject of intense speculation. Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United are all looking to strengthen their attacking options and have been linked with other names like Alexander Isak, Victor Osimhen, and Liam Delap. Mikel Arteta's lack of depth in the striker position has even forced midfielder Mikel Merino to play as a makeshift forward, highlighting the need for a new signing.
Jurgen Klopp, who is currently advising the Red Bull network, has also praised Sesko, saying that he has known the young striker since his days at Salzburg and has been impressed with his progress. However, he also clarified that he has no plans to interfere with Sesko's development and that Leipzig's manager, Marco Rose, is focused on helping him reach his full potential.
It remains to be seen which club will ultimately secure Sesko's signature, but one thing is for sure - the 21-year-old is a highly sought-after talent with a bright future ahead of him.
