It’s official: RB Leipzig have just shaken up the transfer market. Slovenian starlet Benjamin Šeško is now available for €70 million — down from the original €100 million asking price. A major U-turn that could reignite the race for one of Europe’s most promising strikers.
💣 Why the Sudden Discount?
The German club, known for its long-term planning and financial discipline, seems to have re-evaluated its expectations. There are several possible reasons behind this decision: a desire to avoid tensions with the player, a lack of concrete offers at €100M, or perhaps a strategic move to balance the books before the window closes.
Šeško, who netted 18 goals in all competitions last season, has been on the radar of top clubs like Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, and AC Milan. But at €100M, most hesitated. At €70M, the green light is back on.
⚽ Who is Benjamin Šeško?
At just 21, the towering Slovenian (1.95m) has drawn comparisons to Erling Haaland for his strength, speed, and composure in front of goal. A product of Red Bull Salzburg’s talent factory, he’s made a big impact in the Bundesliga and is now considered one of Europe’s top emerging strikers.
👀 Suitors Take Note
With this price drop, Leipzig is sending a clear message: Šeško is available — but only for the right price. And now, interested clubs have no excuse. With less than three weeks left in the transfer window, the race is officially on.
💬 Transfer Imminent?
All signs point to a potential move heating up quickly. Talks are reportedly ongoing with several Premier League clubs. If one of them comes in with a solid offer around €70M, Leipzig likely won’t stand in the way.
🧠 Our Take
In a market where fees are soaring, Benjamin Šeško for €70M could be one of the smartest deals of the summer. He’s got everything a top club needs: youth, power, pace, and massive room to grow. Under the right manager, he could easily develop into a top 5 striker in the world.
