Benjamin Šeško is allegedly irritated with RB Leipzig for changing his transfer term without notifying him.
(The Post News)– Reports have alleged that Benjamin Šeško is becoming more and more irate with RB Leipzig following a breakdown in communication around his possible summer transfer cost. Šeško had a successful Bundesliga season, with a number of elite European clubs having shown a great deal of interest in him.
But what previously seemed to be a straightforward departure from Leipzig has become tense, as the striker’s team believes the German club has changed the rules. Šeško and his advisors thought Leipzig had agreed to facilitate a transfer for a fee of about €70 million (£59 million), which they believed reflected both his market value and a previous understanding, according to insiders.
Leipzig has reportedly increased their asking price to €80 million (£67 million) in the past couple of days, which has left the 21-year-old and his team feeling duped. Reports have stated that a person with knowledge of the matter said that Seko was not aware of the new terms, and the club was anticipated to follow the terms that were set when the season began.
With 18 goals in all competitions the previous season, Šeško is regarded as one of Europe’s most promising attackers. Because of his combination of strength, speed, and finishing, he has been compared to Erling Haaland, and teams from the Premier League, Serie A, and La Liga have all shown interest.
Leipzig may have strategically timed the valuation change. With major clubs actively pursuing a marquee striker and the transfer market heating up, Leipzig might feel more confident in demanding a higher price. Meanwhile, the trust between the player and the club may be harmed, according to reports from Šeško’s camp, which sees the matter as a breach of good faith.
Although a formal transfer is not yet on the table, tensions are building behind the scenes. Leipzig has a deal with Šeško that expires in 2028, and while the club is not required to sell, a major decline in relations would prompt a reconsideration.
Leipzig has not made any public remarks regarding the matter, but this drama is expected to get more intense in the upcoming weeks when the summer transfer window officially opens.
