€100 million-rated Bundesliga forward on the radar of Real Madrid, Barcelona – report | OneFootball

Benjamin Sesko is fast-becoming the big star at RB Leipzig, thanks to his blaming performances in the Bundesliga.

Since joining the club in 2023, the Slovenian international has racked up 39 goals for the club, including 21 in the ongoing campaign.

Standing at 1.95m, Sesko has impressed onlookers with his towering presence inside the box. This is coupled with his goalscoring prowess, making him one of the most sought-after attacking talents in the Bundesliga.

Real Madrid, Barcelona eye move for Sesko

As Sesko continues his rapid rise to prominence, the player has found himself on the radar of multiple top clubs across Europe.

According to Diario AS, the three biggest Spanish teams are among the clubs interested in the services of the RB Leipzig forward.

Naturally, Real Madrid are a part of that trifecta, which does make sense considering the fact that Los Blancos could use the services of a new number nine.

Despite the star power of Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe, the duo has struggled to find synergy. A conventional number nine like Sesko could unlock their potential, allowing Mbappé to operate effectively out wide alongside Vinicius.

Sesko signed a contract extension with Leipzig until 2029 last summer, but the Bundesliga side is open to negotiations.

Leipzig could demand up to €100 million, though the price might drop to €90 million or even €80 million if they fail to qualify for the Champions League.

Sesko, for his part, could be keen on joining Real Madrid, too, as the forward had labelled Santiago Bernabeu as his dream venue.

Real Madrid, though, could face stiff competition from Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in the race to sign Sesko, whose hefty price tag could anyway put off the reigning Spanish champions.
