Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool Balk at RB Leipzig’s £84M Price Tag for Benjamin Šeško

In a heated transfer race, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool have set their sights on RB Leipzig’s 21-year-old Slovenian striker Benjamin Šeško, but the German club’s £84M asking price has stalled negotiations. According to a recent post by Transfer News Live on X, none of the Premier League giants are willing to meet Leipzig’s valuation for the 1.94m-tall forward, who has also been linked with Manchester United by fans online.

Šeško, who scored 13 goals in the 2024-25 Bundesliga season, is regarded as a rising star in European football, praised for his physical strength and refined technique. Despite his potential, Leipzig’s steep demands—up from a reported £67M in January 2025—have sparked debate. Fans on X have mixed reactions, with some citing Leipzig’s history of overvalued strikers like Timo Werner, while others see Šeško as a raw talent worth the investment.

The summer transfer window, just weeks away, could see further twists as Liverpool also pursue Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz, while Chelsea target Ajax’s Jorrel Hato. For now, Šeško’s future remains uncertain as the Premier League clubs weigh their options.
