The Premier League could see an exciting twist in the January transfer market as RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko is seriously considering leaving the club. According to 90min’s sources, both Chelsea and Manchester United are showing growing interest in acquiring the Slovenian striker’s services.
This is not the first time Premier League clubs have set their sights on Sesko. During the summer transfer window, several teams expressed interest in the young striker, who ultimately opted to join RB Leipzig in a £20 million deal from Red Bull Salzburg.
Sesko, the striker the Premier League big boys want
Although the decision seemed logical at the time, the reality in Germany is not so favorable for Sesko. Despite her undeniable talent, she has spent most of her time on the bench, with Lois Openda taking a prominent role in the team. Leipzig, who have ambitions of dethroning Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, could consider selling the young striker and doubling their investment.
As for Sesko, it appears he may reconsider his position, although previous reports suggested he would remain at Leipzig. The search for regular playing time could see him seek a move in the coming months, which has attracted interest from both Chelsea and Manchester United. Its price is around 50 million euros.
Chelsea in particular have been exploring various options to strengthen their attacking front, including reports suggesting possible interest in Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyokeres. However, Sesko remains a viable option and we could see moves in January as Premier League teams prepare for the upcoming transfer window. With Mauricio Pochettino still assessing his team’s needs, Sesko’s prospects in the Premier League will depend on available finances and RB Leipzig’s willingness to sell during the winter market.
