The release clause for Milan and Arsenal transfer target Benjamin Sesko is now set at €65m after he concluded the season with RB Leipzig.

The centre-forward has an unusual clause set in his contract which climbs depending on his performances during the campaign.

It was able to escalate from €45m to a maximum of €72m, but today the season came to a close and therefore the clause has been set at €65m for this summer.

Sesko hot property

Sesko found the net 19 times along with three assists in all competitions for RB Leipzig and is expected to be hot property on the transfer market.

His profile could grow even more when Slovakia participate in the EURO 2024 tournament from June to July.

Milan and Arsenal are known to have Sesko on their wish-list and have both held meetings with his entourage already.

The two clubs really do seem to be going for the same targets, as they are also expected to battle on the market for Bologna centre-forward Joshua Zirkzee.

It was revealed this week that Zirkzee’s €40m release clause is not only valid for Bayern Munich, but for any club who comes along.
