AC Milan have once again been linked with a move for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, who is in demand ahead of the summer.
Milan are expected to be in the market for a centre-forward despite having invested over €30m to sign Santiago Gimenez in the winter transfer window, given Luka Jovic’s deal will soon expire and Tammy Abraham is only on loan.

According to CaughtOffside, Milan are among a ‘host of elite European clubs’ that are keen on Sesko. He scored 21 goals for RB Leipzig across all competitions in the season that has just finished, and is expected to move on.
A high price tag
The source state that Leipzig are demanding a fee in the region of €80m to sell Sesko, which would surely be too much for Milan to consider. Premier League rivals Arsenal and Chelsea are currently leading the race at present.
Sesko has ‘raw power, intelligent movement, and an eye for goal’ that have made the Slovenian international a big target for the London duo, while Liverpool think he could replace Darwin Nunez potentially.
Manchester United have ‘also expressed interest’ but may struggle to compete financially due to ‘ongoing budget constraints’. Juventus, Milan and Tottenham Hotspur are all credited with interest in Sesko too.
The Rossoneri have been frequently linked with a move for Sesko, as recently as the winter mercato but mostly in the 2024 summer window when it is believed an investment was weighed up.
The report concludes: “With Leipzig open to negotiations and Europe’s top clubs ready to bid, the race for Sesko’s signature promises to be one of the defining storylines of the summer transfer window.”
LMAO!!! What a pointless article….
Thats all we can ever do with good players- just admire
Gyokeres is better. LOL. Stupid article.
Now that we have an SD and coach in place can we stop all these bs articles and focus on realistic targets. Sick and tired of this lazy journalism.
His agents are doing their job. Nothing to see here, please move along
Stupid article 😂😂😂
We cant buy Ricci for 30m 😂😂
I just don’t think CF and strikers are that important. Giminez can score 35 goals if Milan’s midfield dominates and creates chances. Now, athletic strikes such as Abraham offer something extra, but not even that is necessary.
I really believe we need,more than anything, a proper CDM similar to frank Kessie. After that, we need athletic midfielders such as Tonali was.
Fofana, RLC, etc are not what we need. Also, Rjeinders is not even what we need, tbh.
Yeah, Milan will offer 1 million loan and then option to buy for 30 million spread over 5 years – I am sure Leipzig is salivating at that offer.
Scoring goals hasn’t been any of our problem. Renewing Jovic’s contract and keeping Carmada to both assist Gimenez, then we are good to go. The money should rather be invested in the midfield and defense.
Meanwhile, not every article is worth giving attention to
He will going to arsenal. Santi can score more than 20 +++ goal too if ACM midfield, full back & winger support him. ACM also have camarda & jovic as Super sub for striker
RedBird is not a company that has no money. managed funds reaching 10 billion USD are clearly not a trivial amount, especially since they led a consortium to buy the TELEGRAPH newspaper for 500 million pounds. then an investment of 200 million Euros in the Alpine F1 Team. what is currently being faced is the condition of AC Milan which does not have a large amount of money except selling its star players who are indeed expensive. After selling, they have to balance the balance sheet to balance so that they don’t need to add debt. Only then can they make a purchase. But sometimes risks need to be taken to achieve success.
