Overview
- Arsenal are in advanced talks with RB Leipzig to sign 22-year-old Benjamin Sesko, with a transfer fee now understood to range from €80 million to €100 million.
- The deal hinges on a complex release clause structure that must be renegotiated before Arsenal can trigger a fixed buyout fee.
- Sesko’s preference for a North London move has accelerated negotiations, effectively ruling out transfers to other interested clubs.
- With the Sesko deal shaping up, Manchester United have shifted their attention to Sporting’s Viktor Gyokeres; a second offer for Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo has also attracted reported interest from Tottenham.
- Liverpool have launched a third club-record bid worth £113 million for Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Florian Wirtz to reinforce their midfield.
