Liverpool, Barcelona and Manchester City are willing to battle it out for the services of 20-year-old RB Leipzig sensation Benjamin Sesko.
According to a report by the BILD, Liverpool, Barcelona and Manchester City are all keen on having Benjamin Sesko in their ranks. The 20-year-old RB Leipzig forward has been doing wonders of late and his impressive performances have attracted a lot of attention.
Sesko came into the limelight while playing for Red Bull Salzburg. He featured in a total of 79 matches for the Austrian club and contributed towards 40 goals. His exceptional performance attracted a lot of attention but Leipzig managed to sign him last summer for €24 million.
Since making the move to Germany he has featured in 28 matches and has already found the back of the net on 10 occasions. The 20-year-old striker is considered to be a huge prospect for the future and multiple top clubs from across Europe are keeping a close eye on him.
European giants to battle it out for Sesko
They are quite impressed with the Slovenian international and could make a move for him in the summer. City, Liverpool and Barcelona are all keen on having him in their ranks.
The Catalan giants are looking to prepare for life without Robert Lewandowski as the Polish international is in the final stage of his career. And, Sesko could be a great replacement when we look at the long term.
As far as City are concerned, they are always on the lookout for players who further bolster their squad. They feel the 20-year-old could be a great addition to their ranks and they are willing to make a move.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are ready to battle it out for the signatures of the Slovenian international. The Reds will undergo a massive change in the summer with Jurgen Klopp leaving. There is a possibility of Mohamed Salah also parting ways with the club, as a result, they are expected to sign a new forward and Sesko seems to be a top priority for them.
The release clause that could lead to his departure
The 20-year-old striker has a €50 million release clause in his contract that runs until the summer of 2028. It will be active in the next summer transfer window, as a result, any club interested can directly sign him by triggering his release. While the German club didn’t really sign in for such a clause, that was the only way to land him at the club in the first place, which is why they agreed to it.
