Milan, Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United… There were many clubs that wanted to activate the 60 million clause that Benjamin Sesko had before renewing his contract. But, after putting in a new performance in a setting like the Champions League and against a team like Juventus, It will be difficult for Leipzig to continue retaining him.

“I’m happy and that’s why I decided to renew. I want to do great things here and Leipzig wants to grow as a club. I want to accompany the team on this very interesting path”noted the Slovenian striker prior to the match in an interview with ‘La Gazzetta dello Sport’.

With only one goal conceded so far this season among all competitions, Benjamin Sesko had no qualms about scoring the first double of his early career in the Champions League for Juventus. In fact, after the goal he scored on the opening day against Atlético de Madrid, He has already surpassed his records from the last edition in two matches when they were eliminated in the round of 16 against Real Madrid.

Beyond his second penalty goal, It is the first pass from Openda half an hour into the game that really brought to the table many of the qualities he possesses as a forward. And, despite measuring nearly two meters, the finesse and coordination that he shows in each gesture are of another level. The ‘timing’ of the unmarking was perfect, he improved it with his control with his right… and he mercilessly shot Di Gregorio with his left.

Last season, despite the fact that his role was quite reduced until after the Christmas break, His 18 goals helped him become the top Under-21 scorer of the five major European leagues. This course, for now, He already has a total of six in just eight games.
“Before, excelling in one aspect was enough. Now, if you want to compete at the highest level, you must be a complete player. Football is played at such a high speed that you must be very intelligent”pointed out the Leipzig ‘killer’.

It’s been a while since His name is noted in the folders of the technical secretariats of the giants of the continent. But, while its price continues to skyrocket… Benjamin Sesko continues to show that he is the best forward project born in Europe facing the next decade.
