The RB Leipzig announced this Wednesday the extension of the agreement of Benjamin Sesko until June of 2029, a hit to the plans of an Arsenal that already prepared to credit the 65 million euros of his clause. The forward of 21 years was one of the reinforcements asked by Mikel Arteta for the 2024/25, but the 'gunners' will remain with win them, at least, a year more, since the esloveno prioritises to follow improving with the ones of Marco Rose.
In the past season, the one of Radece was one of the feelings of the Bundesliga converting 14 goals in 31 days. In total added 18 so many in 42 apparitions in his first season in Germany, winning a comparison with Erling Haaland because of his physical characteristics (height, power, speed) and the capacity to move inside the area. His good year put him in the orbit of the FC Barcelona, although in Catalonia consider him like a viable alternative of face to the future.

In this sense, the renewal of Sesko with the Leipzig finishes being a good news for the Barça, since further of the length of his new agreement the attacker reserved a clause that will allow him negotiate his exit without obstacles in the summers of 2025 and 2026. The group germano him fichó the summer happened in return of 24 million euros and, for the moment, his value of market already reaches the 50 'kilos' in Transfermarkt.
From here the eagerness of the Arsenal in closing what before the signing of a footballer in a big moment, but the one who seems to take the things calmly of face to the future. For Benjamin, the priority aims to settle in the elite before giving the jump to a big and the best place to attain it is with the ones of Marco Rose. In 2025, with more experience and the seen well of his club, there will be a much more favourable situation to listen offers, maybe of a Barça already in conditions to move in the market without problems of 'Fair Play'.
