Agent reveals details about recent Milan meeting: “Maldini knows him very well” | OneFootball

Having signed their respective renewal, Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara are now working hard on reinforcing the team. One of the targets that have filtered in recent days is Benjamin Sesko, a young RB Salzburg striker.

Just a few days ago, the 19-year-old’s agent Elvis Basanovic had a meeting with Maldini at Casa Milan (see photo here). Immediately, news outlets started to link Milan with Sesko, who bagged 10 goals and 7 assists this past season.

Speaking in an interview with salzburg24.at, as cited by Calciomercato.com, Basanovic revealed that Sesko indeed was one of the (inevitable) talking points during the meeting. He also stated that Maldini knows everything about him.

“I talked to Paolo Maldini about many things. Obviously, the name Benjamin Sesko also came up. Maldini knows him very well and knows everything about him. In the next five-six years, Sesko will be one of the best strikers in Europe. He currently has everything he needs for his development at Salzburg,” he stated.

Given that Milan have Divock Origi and Olivier Giroud for the centre-forward position, Sesko could be a name for the future. Zlatan Ibrahimovic could also be back for the second half of the season, meaning the competition would be very tough this season.
