The casting of strikers in the offices of FC Barcelona is 'red hot'. The Blaugrana entity is looking to reinforce the centre of its attack for the future in the short or medium term, since Robert Lewandowski's contract expires in 2026 and, at that time, the Pole will reach 38 years of age, so the sports management has begun the search for his possible replacement in the team
While names such as Erling Haaland or Viktor Gyökeres appear as the great favourites of the Blaugrana institution to take over from 'Lewy' in the forward line, the culés are handling different alternatives in case the operations of the Nordics become too complicated. It is in this scenario where the name of Benjamin Sesko, Slovenian scorer of RB Leipzig, appears.
Arsenal make move to sign Sesko
The 21-year-old striker has been one of the sensations of the season under Marco Rose, scoring 7 goals and providing 3 assists in the 14 games he has played for the German side. A performance that has not gone unnoticed by the continent's big clubs, with Arsenal leading the 'race' for the player, as reported by 'MailSport'.
The Gunners are aware of the interest of teams such as Barça in Sesko, so they are reportedly starting to make moves to secure the services of the striker. The Emirates Stadium would not spare any expense and would pay the Slovenian's release clause, valued at 65 million euros.
A situation that leaves the Catalans with few options to get the player, which is why their efforts would continue to be directed towards the possible signings of Haaland or Gyökeres, who are, along with Lewandowski, the best '9' at present.
