RB Leipzig attacker Benjamin Sesko is having a successful debut season with the German club, scoring 11 goals and two assists in 34 appearances across all competitions.
Barcelona scouts were rumored to be writing a dossier on the 20-year-old’s performance a few months ago, and according to Mundo Deportivo, they are still keeping an eye on the Slovenian, who has a contract with the German team until 2028.
Barcelona won’t rush.
As the 2023-24 football season approaches its conclusion, clubs are already planning their strategy for the next season.
However, Barcelona’s present strategy is slightly different. Deco, the club’s sporting director, maintains that it is too early to make future decisions.
He emphasizes that their current priorities are competing in La Liga and achieving success in the Champions League.
Nevertheless, discussions about potential transfers and squad adjustments are underway across departments of the club and the aforementioned outlet has highlighted that Sesko has attracted attention from Barça and other top clubs.
There is a clause to deal with
The spotlight falls on Sesko, who happens to have attracted a lot of attention across Europe and interestingly enough, possesses a release clause valued at €50 million in his current contract.
The outlet affirms that Barcelona do not have the financial capacity to meet his €50 million release clause and on top of that, major clubs like Real Madrid, AC Milan, Chelsea, and Arsenal have taken notice of Sesko’s potential.
While speculation mounts about potential transfers, Deco and Barcelona maintain their focus on the remaining challenges of the current season.
Their priority remains securing victories in La Liga and to pursue glory in the Champions League. As the season reaches its climax, decisions about the future will inevitably be made.
And a call will be made on whether to pursue Sesko or not, especially with speculations surrounding Robert Lewandowski’s future.
