In a surprising turn of events, Benjamin Šeško has decided to extend his stay at RB Leipzig, despite significant interest from top Premier League clubs.
The highly-rated striker was on the radar of Arsenal, Manchester United, and Chelsea, and was also attracting lucrative offers from the Saudi Arabian league.
Šeško’s decision to commit his future to Leipzig was confirmed by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, who reported that the Slovenian international has agreed to a new contract with the Bundesliga club.
The deal is expected to be finalized before the UEFA Euro Championship kicks off.
This development is a blow to the EPL giants, particularly Arsenal, who were keen to bolster their attacking options with the talented forward.
Despite the allure of playing in one of the world’s most competitive leagues and the financial incentives from Saudi Arabia, Šeško has chosen to remain with Leipzig, a club where he has been able to develop his skills and maintain a prominent role in their attacking lineup.
Šeško’s new contract signals RB Leipzig’s ambition to retain their top talents as they continue to compete at the highest level in both domestic and European competitions.
For the Premier League clubs, the search for a top-tier striker continues as the summer transfer window progresses.
