Another source in Germany has confirmed that AC Milan are interested in signing Benjamin Sesko, but they face strong competition to land the RB Leipzig star.

According to what is being reported by Bild (via MilanNews), Milan’s interest in signing Sesko is very much concrete and actually dates back beyond the recent period, given that in recent months Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been at work.

The report claims that the Swede asked his compatriot Emil Forsberg – who plays at Leipzig with Sesko – for more information on him in terms of his abilities but also his character.

The piece also explains the situation of the player’s release clause, which specifically today amounts to €50m but which at the end of the season – depending on the number of goals, assists and minutes played – could rise up to €75m.

Furthermore, Milan are not the only club to show interest in the Slovenia international because some Premier League sides are on his trail, above all Arsenal but with Manchester City and Liverpool also watching and waiting.

This season the former Red Bull Salzburg striker has collected a total of 16 goals and 2 assists in 40 overall appearances in all competitions, but it must be said that his numbers have taken a sharp upturn in the second half of the season and he is still just 20 years of age.
