Arsenal Hold Fresh Benjamin Sesko Transfer Talks but RB Leipzig Holding Firm on £70m Price Tag
- Arsenal are negotiating to sign 22-year-old striker Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig as of June 2025.
- The talks follow Sesko's contract extension last year and Leipzig missing Champions League qualification, which may strengthen Arsenal's negotiating position.
- Sporting director Andrea Berta and Leipzig general manager Marcel Schäfer held multiple discussions in London this week to narrow the €80 million release clause gap.
- Sesko scored 39 goals in 87 appearances for Leipzig, including 13 goals and 5 assists last season, and Arsenal have agreed personal terms with him.
- All parties remain optimistic about reaching an agreement before the summer transfer window closes, which would address Arsenal's need for additional firepower.
