The summer transfer window hasn’t even opened, and one name — Benjamin Sesko is already buzzing across England.
The RB Leipzig striker, one of Europe’s rising stars, has broken his silence on the growing interest from Premier League clubs — and his words have stirred things up.
“I’m 100% focused on RB Leipzig,” Sesko told Sky Sport Germany this week. But then came the line that will have scouts alert: “It’s open. Anything can happen.”
At just 21, Sesko has hit 21 goals across all competitions this season — a career best so far. His mix of height, pace, and sharp finishing has caught the eye of top clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, and, most notably, Liverpool.
Add in a release clause reportedly around €80 million, and you’ve got a recipe for a classic summer scramble.
Leipzig still have two matches left in their Bundesliga campaign, and Champions League qualification is still in play.
But Sesko’s future looks set to dominate headlines once the season wraps up. And his message is clear — he’s not closing the door on anything.

Can Liverpool sign Benjamin Sesko as Darwin Nunez replacement?
With Darwin Nunez under pressure after a hit-and-miss campaign, Liverpool may look for a new number nine. Benjamin Sesko could be that man.
The Reds have already headed into the new era under Arne Slot with a Premier League trophy in his debut season, and there’s talk of refreshing the forward line.
Sesko’s physical style and goal-scoring touch make him a natural fit. Plus, he’s five years younger than many of his fellow targets, giving Liverpool a long-term option up top.
The challenge? Beating their Premier League rivals to the punch. Arsenal have chased Sesko before, and Chelsea’s wallet is never shy when a striker’s in play.
But with the Slovenian star dropping hints and Liverpool fans calling for reinforcements, Anfield might just become his next stage.
