RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko is having a satisfactory debut season with the German team, having scored 11 goals and two assists across 34 outings in all competitions.
A few months ago, Barcelona scouts were said to be preparing a report on the 20-year-old’s performance and if a report from Mundo Deportivo is to be believed, they continue to monitor the Slovenian, who has a contract with the German team until 2028.
Barcelona will not rush
As the 2023-24 football season approaches its climax, clubs are already contemplating their strategies for the next season.
However, Barcelona’s current strategy is a bit different. The club’s sporting director, Deco, remains firm in his stance that it is premature to make any decisions about the future.
He emphasises that their current focus lies on competing in La Liga and striving for 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.
