Arsenal & Man Utd learn new Benjamin Sesko asking price | OneFootball

RB Leipzig are ready to listen to offers of €70m (£58.9m) for striker Benjamin Sesko this summer, a report has revealed.

Sesko is one of many high-profile strikers expected to be on the move this summer, with European heavyweights like Arsenal, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain all keen to land his signature after watching him net 35 goals in 78 games for the Bundesliga side.

It was recently reported that Sesko's contract includes a release clause, initially starting at €70m but likely climbing before the season ends as it is tied to a number of performance-related variables.

Interestingly, Christian Falk now adds that Leipzig are prepared to listen to bids of €70m, offering a discount to Sesko's suitors if his release clause increases over the next few months.

Leipzig are well aware that the strength of suitors chasing Sesko's signature means a summer departure is effectively guaranteed.

Arsenal are known admirers of Sesko, while he was recently named on a four-man shortlist for United. Newcastle United and PSG have both been touted, while there have been speculative links to the vast majority of Europe's elite.

A €70m price tag is affordable for most sides, particularly in a market in which strikers are expected to command premium fees due to the significant competition.

Napoli's Victor Osimhen, Sporting CP's Viktor Gyokeres and Newcastle's Alexander Isak are among the biggest names attracting interest, while Eintracht Frankfurt's Hugo Ekitike and Ipswich Town's Liam Delap have plenty of admirers.
