Benjamin Sesko responds to Manchester United transfer interest as release clause increases
The summer transfer window drama is heating up, and one of Europe’s most sought-after young strikers has officially spoken out. Benjamin Šeško, the rising star at RB Leipzig, addressed ongoing speculation linking him with a move to Manchester United during a press conference earlier today — and his words have left fans and reporters guessing.
“I’m fully focused on my job here at Leipzig,” Šeško told reporters when quizzed about the Premier League giants’ interest. “It’s flattering when a club like Manchester United shows interest, but right now, my priority is to keep improving and helping my team.”
The response was calm, measured, and classic media training — but it hasn’t stopped the speculation.
Adding fuel to the fire, news broke just hours before the press conference that Šeško’s release clause has officially increased, a clause that reportedly activates in the summer of 2025. According to reliable sources in Germany, the new figure now sits at €65 million, up from its previous valuation, making the chase for his signature even more competitive.
Manchester United have been long-time admirers of the 20-year-old Slovenian international, viewing him as a future leading man at Old Trafford. With doubts surrounding the depth of United’s attacking options, especially behind Rasmus Højlund, Šeško has emerged as a top candidate on their radar.
“We’re always monitoring the best talents across Europe,” a club insider hinted. “And Šeško has consistently impressed at the highest level.”
United fans have taken to social media, debating whether the club should act this summer before his value skyrockets further, or risk waiting another season and potentially facing even stiffer competition from Europe’s elite.
Could Benjamin Šeško be the next big striker to light up the Premier League? Or will Leipzig hold firm for another year?
One thing’s clear — this transfer saga is far from over, and the press conference today has only intensified the buzz.
