Fabrizio Romano insists that Benjamin Sesko will make a final decision on his future before the end of the month, perhaps even in the next few days.

The RB Leipzig striker has been the talk of the town for several weeks now. After a red-hot second half of the season, the towering but rapid striker is arguably Europe's most in-demand attacking player right now.

Courted by Premier League giants Arsenal, Chelsea and Man Utd, Sesko essentially has the ability to personally pick his next destination. The 21-year-old has a €65 million release clause, so clubs can bypass negotiations with Leipzig.

The latter, for their part, have made the Slovenia international a lucrative new contract offer in hopes of removing that release clause. Leipzig are confident that they can convince Sesko to stay for one more season, but a final decision has not yet been made by the player.

According to Fabrizio Romano, however, that decision won't be long in coming. In fact, he promises that this won't develop into a lengthy saga and that the situation could be resolved within a matter of days.

Sesko to decide ASAP

Answering fan questions on a Q&A, the Italian transfer expert revealed the latest on the tug-of-war surrounding Sesko. "My information is that it [the decision] can come really soon. I don't think it's going to be a long saga, I don't think it's going to be a saga for July and August."

"I think it will be resolved in June, probably before the Euros, but this is not guaranteed yet because it depends on the player. But the idea of the player is to decide as soon as possible. So, this is the priority."

"So, I expect a decision really, really soon. It could be before the Euros, but in any case, I expect a decision in June, not in July, not in August. This is part of the planning. Benjamin Sesko doesn't like to be too much in the media with many rumours, he likes to have clarity for his present and future."
