RB Leipzig has set a new price of EUR 70 million for its best striker Benjamin Sesko in the upcoming summer transfer market. Sesko is one of many top strikers who are expected to move to big clubs this summer.
European giants such as Arsenal, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain are all keen on his signature. Witnessing the brilliance of the Slovenian international striker who played 78 matches in the Bundesliga competition, he recorded 35 goals.
According to 90min , it was recently reported that Sesko’s contract includes a release clause, which initially starts at EUR 70 million but is likely to increase before the end of the season due to a number of variables related to his statistical contributions.
Interestingly, the report also adds that Leipzig are ready to listen to offers of EUR 70 million and Die Bullen are offering a discount to Sesko’s fanatics if his release clause increases over the next few months.
Leipzig are also well aware that the number of suitors chasing the former Salzburg forward’s services ensures his departure this summer is guaranteed to be effective.
According to 90min, Arsenal are the leading interest in Sesko in Mikel Arteta’s hunt for a new striker, who will compete with Manchester United who are also experiencing a deadlock in their front line.
Newcastle United and PSG have also been linked with the 195cm striker, while there is speculative link with most of Europe’s elite clubs.
The price tag of EUR 70 million is very affordable for most parties, especially in the transfer market where attackers are expected to get paid big money due to the tight competition in modern football today.
Apart from Benjamin Sesko, there are still many elite strikers rumored to be moving, such as Victor Osimhen from Napoli, Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP, and Alexander Isak from Newcastle.
