Benjamin Šeško doesn’t have a release clause in his RB Leipzig contract, but he does have a “gentleman’s agreement” with the club over a potential exit next summer, the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal have all been informed.

Sesko – who is also attracting interest from the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool – ended the season in stunning form, scoring or assisting in 13 of the final 16 games of the Bundesliga season, and his release clause increased to €65million (£56m) as a result.

It is no secret that CHELSEA are looking to add a new striker to that attack in the summer transfer window as they still have not got a 25-30 goal a season forward that can score on a weekly basis.

However, despite all the speculation, despite all the hype and despite the fact many were tipping Sesko to leave RB in the summer window, the decision was to stay put for the big striker and he actually agreed a new contract to stay

But Šeško doesn’t have a release clause in his RB Leipzig contract, but he does have a “gentleman’s agreement” with the club over a potential exit next summer, Sky Sports Deutschland reports.

The 21-year-old already has seven goals this season and though the German club are not contractually obliged to let Šeško depart next summer, there is said to be an understanding that he is free to leave if an interested club submits an offer worth €70 million to €75 million.

Reporter Iomie Stanley recently claimed that Sesko is a player that Chelsea are seriously interested in signing – he said: “Chelsea, I expect to be seriously involved in the Sesko conversation as well. And then PSG are going to have to decide whether or not they want to try for a Sesko player or a profile of his nature, whether they want to put a lot of their saved money towards Victor Osimhen, or whether they want to enter the conversation for Rafael Leao.’’

‘The Board like to sign players that have a good few seasons in the game – that are value for money and that have not yet hit their prime – Sesko is the perfect kind of signing for Chelsea.

‘But there are a few options for the player – meaning that Chelsea will have a massive battle on their hands to get a deal done’

‘But the way that Sesko plays – his age – he could be the perfect signing for Enzo Maresca,’
