Benjamin Sesko has signed a new deal at RB Leipzig Amed Premier League Interest
Benjamin Sesko, the 21-year-old Slovenian striker, has extended his contract with Bundesliga club RB Leipzig until 2029. This move comes after significant interest from several Premier League clubs including Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United. The new deal includes a gentleman’s agreement for a possible exit in 2025 or 2026, providing flexibility for future career moves.
Sesko’s decision to stay at Leipzig was influenced by his desire to continue his development at the club. He had a strong end to the season, scoring in each of Leipzig’s last seven league games, and finished the campaign with 18 goals in all competitions. His performances have established him as one of the best strikers in the Bundesliga.
The Premier League interest in Sesko is not surprising given his impressive performances and potential. However, the new contract with Leipzig includes an unwritten agreement that allows him to leave in the future, potentially to a Premier League club.
This move is seen as a smart one for Sesko’s career. Leipzig has a reputation for being a proving ground for young talents, and the club’s ambitions to be a permanent fixture in the Bundesliga and one of the top clubs in Europe align with Sesko’s own goals. By staying at Leipzig, Sesko can continue to develop his skills and potentially make a move to a top Premier League club in the future.
