Benjamin Sesko not intrigued by Saudi Pro League offers
Benjamin Sesko has been clear on his stance that he doesn't want to join Saudi Pro League clubs despite continuous offers. The striker wants to stay in Europe and thus rejecting Saudi. Saudi clubs are offering him huge salary, but the player is not intrigued by these proposals.
Benjamin Sesko has made his stance clear regarding his future, he is not interested in a move to the Saudi Pro League despite receiving multiple big-money offers. The young Slovenian striker has rejected several proposals from Saudi clubs, choosing instead to continue his career in Europe.
The offers reportedly included massive salaries, which would have made him one of the highest-paid players in the world. However, Sesko is focused on his development and long-term ambitions rather than chasing money. He believes that playing in Europe, especially in top competitions like the UEFA Champions League, is vital for his growth as a player.
Sesko is one of the most promising young forwards in world football. He wants to test himself against the best in competitive leagues, and a move to Saudi Arabia does not align with his goals at this stage of his career.

Ollie Watkins: striker makes promising move towards Man United
Currently, Manchester United are locked in a 'big battle' with Newcastle over RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko. Following Newcastle's improved £78 million offer, it has now emerged that United have submitted a bid of their own. According to Fabrizio Romano, INEOS' offer for the striker stands at £73.8 million, add-ons included. Sesko is yet to choose his preferred destination, but the transfer guru suggests United believe he is keen on the move. Who Sesko will choose is what everyone is waiting to see. While there is hope of a move to Old Trafford, his transfer to United remains anything but certain. United would be wise to have a reliable Plan B lined up to nurse a heartbreak should they miss out on the Bundesliga forward. If not Sesko, the feeling is that United will turn to Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins. Keen on Premier League-proven players, Watkins was packaged as head coach Ruben Amorim's preferred striker target, after missing out on his top choices. The 29-year-old's Premier League experience and proven record in front of goal could yet be just what United crave. But there were obstacles in the chase. Villa were reportedly reluctant to sell, and the figures involved (considering his age) were not encouraging. Those issues saw United shift focus to Sesko, but if they fail to land the 22-year-old, Watkins may still be the fallback. Encouragingly, obstacles appear to be gradually clearing in United's pursuit of Watkins. Watkins and what he thinks of his future at Villa Park The Sun have dropped a report where they claim the Englishman, keen to quit Villa Park and take the next step in his career, 'is ready to step into the void if Man Utd are unable to lure Benjamin Sesko to the club.' The UK outlet goes on to state that 'his wishes may overlap with Aston Villa's, who also face a battle to keep their summer spending within PSR limits.' Villa were not initially keen to sell him, as the report reiterates: 'Unai Emery had been keen to sell the likes of Jacob Ramsey and Leon Bailey to meet the Premier League's requirements, but have yet to receive the interest they had hoped for.' Now, they may be forced to sell, with £40–£50 million reportedly being enough. That is the kind of update Man United would have loved to hear from Villa Park (but Sesko remains the priority) The mere hint that Villa may soften their 'not for sale' stance over Watkins is a boost for United. It should be some comfort that, if generational talent Sesko slips through their fingers, like Liam Delap and Viktor Gyokeres did, there is at least one decent option out there, keen to tell them, 'Sign me.' Either way, all eyes and all focus should be on Sesko. He may yet decide Ollie Watkins' fate. online polls Follow us on Bluesky: @

Man United make opening bid for Benjamin Sesko
Manchester United have submitted an offer for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, according to German outlet BILD. United have tabled a bid worth €75 million plus an additional €10m in potential add-ons. They reportedly held informal talks with the Bundesliga club earlier in the summer transfer window. The 22-year-old has also attracted interest from Arsenal and Newcastle United. However, the Gunners have moved on after signing Viktor Gyokeres, leaving only Newcastle and Man United as active contenders. Newcastle's improved offer puts pressure on Man United Newcastle initially submitted a €75m bid including €5m in add-ons for Sesko, but Leipzig swiftly rejected it. That prompted them to return with an improved package of at least €80m. United have now stepped up their efforts with a bid of their own. Sesko had an impressive season in Germany last term, bagging 21 goals and six assists across all competitions. His growing reputation has made him one of the most sought-after young strikers this summer. The Slovenian international stands out for his size, speed, and sharp finishing. He often gets behind defences with smart runs and is a real threat in the final third. He is capable of holding up play, acting as a target man and involving his teammates in attacking moves. While he is a strong figure inside the box and a natural goal threat, his passing and link-up play are still developing. However, his blend of physical power and technique makes him an ideal fit for English football.

David Ornstein: Manchester United submit £73m opening offer for Benjamin Sesko on Tuesday afternoon
Manchester United have submitted their opening offer for first-choice centre-forward target Benjamin Sesko this afternoon. It comes after Newcastle United, the only other club in the race, made a bid worth £69.5 million on Monday following 'positive talks' with both RB Leipzig and the player. However, German outlet BILD claims the Red Devils have now entered with a proposal of £73.8m in hopes of prising Sesko from the Bundesliga outfit in the coming days. David Ornstein has also further verified such reports via The Athletic. Benjamin Sesko: The state of play (Photo by) Speculation has suggested that Sesko is favouring a move to Old Trafford over St. James' Park even if it means playing no European football throughout 2025/2026. He had already had his sights set on a Premier League switch since the start of the summer when he was locked in negotiations with Arsenal – until Leipzig's costly demands priced the Gunners out of a deal and they pursued Viktor Gyokeres instead. After missing out on the likes of Joao Pedro, Bryan Mbeumo and Hugo Ekitike – as well as being informed by talisman Alexander Isak that he wants to explore a new venture – Newcastle made it clear to Leipzig they would pay whatever it takes to seal a deal for Sesko, but an agreement can only come to fruition if the Slovenian is fully on board with the prospective transfer himself. How Sesko has fared in recent years The 22-year-old has notched 39 goals and eight assists in 87 appearances for Leipzig over the last two seasons, whilst he also recorded 29 goals and 11 assists in 79 games for sister club RB Salzburg throughout his four-year tenure – albeit two campaigns were on loan with FC Liefering. United's pursuit of Sesko is being spearheaded by former Red Bull chief and current director of recruitment Christopher Vivell, who played an integral role in bringing the youngster to Salzburg when he was just 16.
