Benjamin Šeško will not continue to play for RB Leipzig, and his future seems to lie with a Premier League club.
Benjamin Šeško has established himself as one of the most attractive names in Europe in his position, but his future at RB Leipzig seems very uncertain. After a season in which the German team failed to qualify for European competitions, the 22-year-old Slovenian attacker is seriously considering seeking new challenges this summer.

The favorite to secure the signing of Benjamin Šeško
The Bundesliga club has put a high price on their striker: 75 million euros. The amount has not deterred any of the English big clubs, including Manchester United and Newcastle, who have already shown formal interest in securing his services. Despite not qualifying for European football, Old Trafford remains an attractive destination for many players due to the club’s history and global status.
In Šeško’s case, the offer from the Red Devils carries more weight for more than just sporting reasons. The attacker is drawn to the sporting project that is being built up in Manchester, with the aim of returning the club to the elite. In addition, the possibility of getting a leading role in the attack also seems in United’s favour under the leadership of Rúben Amorim.
Newcastle, on the other hand, offers a more stable environment in terms of international ambitions and short-term goals. Still, the balance seems to be tilting towards United, who could complete the signing if they manage to free up salary capacity and carry out a strategic player sale.
Šeško’s situation promises to be one of the most pivotal transfers in the summer transfer window, especially if a bidding war breaks out between the interested clubs to convince Leipzig before the window closes.
