Top European Clubs Await Šeško’s Final Call — €100M Striker Set to Speak in June
RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Šeško is expected to make a decision on his future at the end of the season, with major clubs including Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Real Madrid, and Barcelona closely monitoring the situation, according to Sky Sports.
The 21-year-old Slovenian international, who remained at Leipzig during the January window, has enjoyed a standout season with 21 goals and 6 assists. Despite Leipzig’s lackluster Bundesliga campaign, Šeško’s performances have made him one of the most sought-after talents in world football.
Transfer Highlights:
- Release Clause: Just over €100 million (£86 million), though potentially flexible based on performance.
- Contract: Runs through 2029, but interest is mounting for a summer transfer.
- Player Preferences: Šeško is said to prioritize Champions League football and joining a club competing for top honors.
Clubs in the Race:
- Arsenal: Looking for a strong, reliable No. 9 — Šeško aligns with Mikel Arteta’s vision.
- Chelsea: Seeking attacking reinforcements after another season of inconsistency up front.
- Liverpool: Considering options for the future amid mixed reviews of Darwin Núñez.
- Real Madrid & Barcelona: Viewing Šeško as a long-term piece in evolving offensive plans.
Newcastle United, once in the running, have reportedly stepped back due to a settled attack and shifting priorities.
With June fast approaching, Šeško and his representatives are expected to evaluate incoming offers. Leipzig will try to hold on to their star, but a fierce bidding war seems all but certain — and one major offer could set off a chain reaction across the striker market
