Benjamin Sesko decides next move! RB Leipzig striker wants Premier League transfer instead of becoming Harry Kane's backup at Bayern Munich

<p>Since his days at Red Bull Salzburg, Sesko has been regarded as one of Europe’s most promising young attackers. His impressive transition to the Bundesliga with Leipzig has only strengthened his reputation, with the striker netting 35 goals and providing eight assists in 78 appearances across all competitions. His performances have drawn interest from some of the continent’s biggest clubs, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/stars-shining-europe-destined-join-premier-league-club-summer-transfer-window/blt8e678080212afdb4" target="_blank">Manchester United, Arsenal, AC Milan, and Bayern Munich </a>all reportedly monitoring his situation.   </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>According to <a href="https://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/rb-leipzig-bayern-backup-hinter-kane-so-denkt-sesko-ueber-seine-zukunft-67e5355bf350b21d61b18b43#fromWall" target="_blank"><em>Bild</em></a><em>,</em> Sesko is seeking a transfer that guarantees him regular first-team football. Despite Bayern’s belief that Sesko would be content with a backup role, reports suggest the 21-year-old has no interest in sitting on the bench behind Kane. If the Bavarian giants are serious about signing him, they would need to alter their current system of playing with a single striker or <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/revealed-man-utd-four-man-striker-shortlist-ruben-amorim-summer-transfer-window/blte407bba2a5985893" target="_blank">part ways with their prolific English talisman</a>. One factor making Sesko an appealing target for top clubs is his relatively reasonable release clause. His current contract allows him to leave for €70m (£58.5m), though this figure could increase to €80m (£66.9m) if he meets certain performance-related milestones. Moreover, reports suggest <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-chelsea-red-alert-rb-leipzig-forced-to-sell-benjamin-sesko-in-the-summer/blt1ce3ae6a8e2e6e40" target="_blank">Leipzig might be willing to negotiate </a>a transfer for around €70m, making him a cost-effective option. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Sesko is not the only striker attracting interest from Europe’s top clubs. The 2024 summer transfer window is expected to see a flurry of movement among elite forwards, with multiple teams vying for world-class goal-scorers. Alongside Sesko, United, Chelsea, and Arsenal are also targeting <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-launch-bid-sign-benjamin-sesko-january-gunners-face-battle-transfer-rb-leipzig-striker/bltc7280dfe6f9a47ad" target="_blank">Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyokeres, and Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak</a>. The demand for quality forwards is so intense that even Ipswich Town’s Liam Delap, Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitike, and Lille’s Jonathan David have emerged as potential options for clubs looking for attacking reinforcements. </p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>For now, Sesko remains fully committed to Leipzig, as they battle to secure a Champions League spot for next season. The Bundesliga club currently finds itself in a tight race for a top-four finish, and the striker’s primary objective is to help them achieve that goal. While speculation about his future continues to grow, the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-man-utd-on-alert-benjamin-sesko-gentlemans-agreement-rb-leipzig-release-clause-revealed/blt4cc9238f756ee64c" target="_blank">Slovenian forward is expected to delay any final decision</a> until the summer. His next move will largely depend on which club can offer him the best combination of competitive football, development opportunities, and regular playing time. </p>
