Benjamin Sesko, a coveted forward, is not expected to move from RB Leipzig. The Slovenian attacker, who is preparing with his national team for Euro 2024, will soon sign a new contract with the German club. Sesko has a lot of appeal in the Premier League, and Mikel Arteta's Arsenal, as well as Chelsea and Manchester United, are interested in his incorporation. However, by committing to RB Leipzig, they will have to look for other targets. In his first season in German football, Sesko scored 14 goals in 31 Bundesliga matches, helping RB Leipzig finish in fourth place. He also scored two goals in the DFB Pokal and another two in the Champions League, where the energy team fell in the round of 16 against Real Madrid. Sesko made his professional debut at Salzburg before being loaned to Liefering, also from Austria, from 2019 to 2021. In the summer of 2021, he returned to Salzburg and in August 2022, Leipzig, another Red Bull team, announced his incorporation, which did not become effective until 2023 with a five-year contract that contains a termination clause of about 55 million pounds (65 million euros). With the new improved agreement, this figure could increase.
