Real Madrid is making serious preparations to strengthen its squad in the upcoming transfer market. It is particularly noted that there is a high need for a new player in the attacking line for Carlo Ancelotti's team. The "Royal Club" has identified one of its main targets as Benjamin Šeško, a forward from Germany's RB Leipzig and a bright star of the Slovenia national team, according to "Madrid Universal" publication.
Currently 21 years old, Šeško has been attracting the attention of football experts with his impressive performances in the Bundesliga since 2023. During his time in the RB Leipzig jersey, he has managed to score 39 goals, 21 of which have come in the current season. The young player's playing style and high goal tally have also attracted several grand clubs from Spain, including the most notable ones - Real Madrid, Barselona, and Atlético Madrid.
Currently, world stars like Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe are active in the Madrid squad, but the club's management emphasizes the need for a typical central striker transfer. Šeško is seen as an ideal candidate to fulfill this role. His physical strength, precise shots, and skillful movements in front of the opponent's goal could further enhance the capabilities of the team's wing attackers.
RB Leipzig is demanding a large sum for the transfer of their star. Previously, the transfer fee was estimated to be around 100 million euros. However, if the German club fails to qualify for the Champions League by the end of the season, this amount could significantly decrease to around 80-90 million euros.
Šeško's contract with RB Leipzig runs until 2029, but the club has indicated that it is open to discussing better offers for the player. Therefore, Real Madrid will need to act quickly, as both Barselona and Atlético are also showing serious interest in the player. It is clear that the Catalans and the "mattress makers" will engage in fierce competition with the Madrid club to attract the young talent.
According to reports from the Spanish press, Real is planning to initiate preliminary negotiations with the German club soon. Additionally, Šeško himself has expressed that he is not opposed to playing in Spain's La Liga and has emphasized several times that he is ready to test himself at a big club.
The transfer of Benjamin Šeško could mark the beginning of a new era in Real's attacking line for the upcoming season. Football fans are closely following this intriguing battle.
