Barcelona Keeping Close Tabs on 20-Year-Old Bundesliga Sensation with Remarkable Scoring Prowess

Barcelona currently finds themselves facing a slight deficit in their attacking department, particularly after the departures of Ansu Fati and Ez Abde. The only recognized number nine in their current squad is Robert Lewandowski, leaving the club in search of potential reinforcements.

As reported by Francesc Aguilar, Barcelona is closely monitoring the progress of Benjamin Sesko, a 20-year-old Slovenian striker currently plying his trade at RB Leipzig. Sesko recently showcased his scoring prowess by netting a memorable brace within just 25 minutes against Union Berlin, adding to his growing reputation.

Aguilar’s sources suggest that Barcelona has been tracking Sesko since his time with RB Salzburg’s affiliate club, FC Liefering. Sesko made a high-profile move to Leipzig during the summer transfer window, with a €23 million price tag attached to his name. Impressively, he wasted no time making his presence felt at his new club.

Sesko has been making waves in senior football ever since his breakthrough. In the previous season, while playing for Salzburg, he found the back of the net an impressive 18 times in 41 appearances. His overall record in senior football stands at an impressive 53 goals and 17 assists in 126 games, an extraordinary achievement considering his youth.

While Barcelona maintains a keen interest in Sesko, it’s worth noting that they’ve already secured the services of Vitor Roque from Athletico Paranaense, suggesting that any significant investment in another forward may not be in the immediate plans for the club. However, Sesko’s rising star in the world of football ensures he remains a player to watch, potentially in the future for Barcelona or other top European clubs.
