AC Milan want Benjamin Sesko to be their striker for the future and they have made an offer in view of the summer, according to one journalist.
Milan need to invest in a new centre-forward ahead of the 2024-25 season, given that the current first choice option Olivier Giroud is now in his late 30s and his contract will expire in June, as will Luka Jovic’s.
A number of different targets have been linked – each of which we analysed in a recent feature – but there is no doubting that the majority of reliable sources believe Sesko is near the top of the list.
According to what Bild journalist Christian Falk is reporting for our colleagues CaughtOffside, RB Leipzig consider Lois Openda to be unsellable in view of the summer, but he has a release clause valid from 2025 for €85m.
Interested clubs from England are already lining up to sign him, including West Ham, Brighton, Liverpool, Newcastle, and Chelsea. The attacker has a contract in Leipzig until 2028.
It is a different situation for Sesko though, who arrived last summer for €24m from Leipzig’s sister club Red Bull Salzburg. He claims Milan ‘are currently offering €40m’ but Arsenal are also watching the attacker.
The Slovenia international has a release clause of €50m in his contract, which is valid until 2028, so he is a tempting profile to many.
