The rumours had died away in the last few days, but now it can be confirmed that Benjamin Sesko will not be joining AC Milan during the summer transfer window.
Olivier Giroud will leave Milan at the end of his contract, having reached an agreement with LAFC, and the management is now working on replacing him.
Sesko emerged as one of the top targets in recent weeks as the Rossoneri have been tracking him since his days at Red Bull Salzburg. There was even talk of the club being ready to make him a record-breaking signing.
However, with all the news about Bologna’s Joshua Zirkzee being close to joining, the Sesko links have somewhat faded away as the idea of a move to the Premier League began to take hold, though that will not happen either now.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the Slovenia international has decided to stay at RB Leipzig and even sign new contract on improved terms, essentially ruling out the possibility of a move.
It is ‘similar to what Haaland decided’ back in his days at Borussia Dortmund in the sense that there is a ‘gentleman’s agreement’ regarding a future exit, meaning the club will let him go when the time is right.
Logical step to stay at Leipzig and keep maturing.
Wise choice my fellow countryman. Best environment for him to grow further.
Then we had better get Zirkzee over the line before the rich kids come knocking with envelopes that say “For Kia” on the front.
Yeah good point… Unfortunately they have to wait til July 1st, lots of time for things to go wrong..
Good choice by him. Smart guy
was pretty obvious he will stay. He’s smart and wants to develop not run after cash so young
Tf are u saying they offered him a much better contract at Leipzig
I’m saying that he choose Leip for a reason and he would not leave after a year. Even if there was no new contract
Was never going to Milan but good on him for not being interested in going to the basket cases like Chelsea or Man Utd yet
This is a smart move for the club to increase his price if he had a successful campaign at the Europe league…. On like Milan management that sell their own young gem for peanut and allow other clubs and agents to toy with them.. Atalanta and Bologna as examples
