In German newspaper BILD, there's widespread talk about AC Milan's increasingly concrete interest in Benjamin Sesko, the striker who plies his trade for RB Leipzig who could replace Olivier Giroud as the starting center-forward next season.
According to the same source, Milan's interest has been longstanding, as Zlatan Ibrahimovic had personally advocated for the player in previous months, after requesting a detailed report and opinion from his compatriot Forsberg, his former teammate.
The article also explains the player's buyout clause situation, which currently stands at 50 million euros but could rise to 75 million euros by the end of the season, depending on the number of goals, assists, and minutes played.
Moreover, Milan's interest is not the only one for the player: there are also important Premier League clubs tracking him, with Arsenal being prominent but Manchester City and Liverpool also keeping an eye on him. This season, the former Salzburg striker has scored a total of 16 goals and provided 2 assists in 40 appearances across all competitions, with his numbers significantly improving in the latter part of the season.
