Benjamin Sesko is expected to make a decision about his future at the conclusion of the current season, as interest from several top European clubs continues to rise, according to Sky Sports.
The 21-year-old forward opted to stay with RB Leipzig during the January transfer window despite heavy interest, but he remains a sought-after target as the summer market approaches.
Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool are reportedly among the clubs eyeing Sesko as they search for a new striker, while Juventus, Napoli, Real Madrid, and Barcelona are also closely following his situation.
Newcastle United had shown interest in Sesko, particularly as a potential replacement for Alexander Isak, but their pursuit appears to have cooled, especially with Champions League qualification now in sight.
Sources indicate that Sesko is eager to join a club capable of competing in both the Champions League and domestic competitions. A decision is expected in June, though he could remain at Leipzig if the right offer doesn’t materialize.
Sesko signed a contract extension last summer that runs until 2029, which reportedly includes a flexible release clause based on performance metrics such as appearances, goals, and assists. An unnamed club recently approached Leipzig and was informed that offers over £86 million (€100 million) would be considered, though that figure could still be negotiated.
Despite Leipzig’s struggles this season—they’re set to finish outside the Bundesliga’s top four for the first time in five years—Sesko has delivered an impressive individual campaign, netting 21 goals and registering six assists in all competitions, including four goals in the Champions League.
