Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig has been associated with a move to Arsenal FC for weeks. According to media reports, it is all about the amount of the transfer between the two clubs. In this regard, the advisor of the center forward has now cleaned up with rumors.
Benjamin Sesko’s consultant Elvis Basanovic does not want to put any pressure on those responsible at RB Leipzig when it comes to a possible transfer of his protégé to Arsenal. In conversation with “givemesport”, he referred rumors to box a lower transfer fee to accelerate a deal.
“This is far from the truth! We respect RB Leipzig and I am 100 percent convinced that RB Leipzig will also respect our decision for the next step if we decide,” he said in an interview with transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano.
Even in the event that Benjamin Sesko feels the “strong wish” for an air change, “we will never force or blackmail RB Leipzig. I think that is not the right way, because the way in which the club leaves shows your own values. Values that you bring into a new club”.
With a view of Sesko, Basanovic also made it clear: “He will only leave RB Leipzig if we recognize a special club, a special project with a special trainer.”
Sesko party? Maybe only in “three years”
In addition, the consultant appealed that “there should be more respect in the football world”. This is also why the Sesko camp wants to do the “things in the right way”.
A statement as to whether the center forward is leaving RB Leipzig this summer could not be elicited from Basanovic. A farewell to the 22-year-old could “happen next week, next year or in three years”.
According to media reports, a move to Arsenal has become more and more apparent in the past few weeks. According to the “Caughtoffside” portal, FC Arsenal has already agreed on contractual conditions such as salary and term with the center forward. RB Leipzig allegedly insists on the 80 million euro clause, but the Gunners are supposed to continue to try to act down this summer.
