The 20-year-old striker from RB Leipzig currently holds a contract extending until June 2028, but reports from BILD indicate the presence of an exit clause valued at €50m (£43m/$54m), set to become active during the forthcoming summer transfer window. Although Sesko’s price tag may appear substantial given his age, his recent performances suggest he could offer significant returns on investment.
Despite a sluggish start to the season, Sesko has acclimatized effectively to life in Germany and has begun to exhibit his talent on the field. Over his last three Bundesliga appearances, Sesko has demonstrated his scoring ability, leading Leipzig to victory against Union Berlin and securing a crucial point against Augsburg. Notably, his performance against Real Madrid in the Champions League underscored his potential, with several attempts at goal, including an early score nullified by VAR.
Scouts from Liverpool, Manchester City, and Barcelona foresee Sesko’s potential to become one of Europe’s most formidable strikers once he consistently finds the net in both domestic and European competitions. They recognize the possibility of Sesko surpassing a valuation of £100m in the future, suggesting that the initial £43m investment could prove to be a bargain.
While Sesko may encounter tough competition for playing time at clubs like Liverpool and Manchester City, where established strikers Darwin Nunez and Erling Haaland reside, the allure of securing such a promising talent could be irresistible. Meanwhile, in Spain, Barcelona seeks a successor to Robert Lewandowski, and Sesko emerges as a fitting candidate for the role.
