FC Barcelona is closely monitoring RB Leipzig’s rising star Benjamin Sesko, as the 21-year-old Slovenian striker continues to attract significant interest across Europe.
Barcelona keep tabs on €100 Million Bundesliga star Benjamin Sesko
Sesko has been in impressive form this season, netting 17 goals and providing five assists across all competitions, solidifying his reputation as one of the Bundesliga’s most promising talents.
Despite extending his contract with Leipzig until 2029, Sesko has a gentleman’s agreement with the club, allowing him to leave if a suitable offer—reportedly upwards of €70 million—is received.
Leipzig aims to capitalize on this by potentially driving the price up to €100 million through a bidding war.
Arsenal currently leads the race to sign Sesko, having shown consistent interest and being prepared to meet the financial requirements.
Other Premier League clubs, including Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool, and Tottenham, are also monitoring the situation closely.
Barcelona, while interested, faces financial constraints that make a move for Sesko challenging in the immediate future.
With Robert Lewandowski still leading the line, the Catalan club is considering Sesko as a potential long-term successor, possibly targeting a move in the summer of 2026.
Sesko’s combination of height, speed, and technical ability has drawn comparisons to Erling Haaland, making him a coveted asset for clubs looking to bolster their attacking options.
His disciplined approach and consistent performance at both club and international levels further enhance his appeal.
As the summer transfer window approaches, the competition for Sesko’s signature is expected to intensify, with clubs across Europe vying for the opportunity to secure one of football’s most promising young forwards.
