Fabrizio Romano has dropped the latest transfer news surrounding Benjamin Sesko, the RB Leipzig striker that Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United are all following.
FootballTransfers understands that Arsenal have made the forward a priority signing for the summer, but a deal for the 21-year-old hangs in the balance because of the intense interest in him.
Sesko has a release clause worth €65 million. Although the Gunners have made an offer, they have not reached the player’s valuation and Romano warns that even if they do, there is no guarantee that he will make a move.

On the Daily Briefing, the football transfer reporter says: “The most important thing for Benjamin Sesko to decide upon first of all is whether to accept RB Leipzig’s proposal of a contract extension and bigger salary. He has to tell them his feelings before the Euros, and whether he will stay and extend or leave and try a new experience.
“Chelsea, Man United and Arsenal have presented their projects and all three clubs are waiting to hear from Benjamin Sesko.
“They all have different projects, different ideas, a different vision and obviously different plans as well as different kinds of proposals in terms of salary.
“I can guarantee to you that, as of today, Benjamin Sesko has still not decided where he will go, but he had some contacts with the clubs to understand about the projects and he will decide in the crucial days ahead.”

How much is Sesko worth?
Sesko has an Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) of €34.5m, which has risen steeply over the course of a season in which he netted 14 times in 31 appearances in the Bundesliga.
He has a contract that runs until 2028, although Leipzig are in talks over a new deal, which would see his wage re-evaluated and a new release clause put in place from 2025.
