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.
