Football icon Zlatan Ibrahimovic has singled out RB Leipzig's rising star Benjamin Sesko as a player destined for greatness, fuelling speculation about a potential big-money move for the Slovenian striker.
Ibrahimovic's Bold Prediction
The Swedish legend, known for his own stellar career across Europe's top leagues, didn't hold back in his praise for the 20-year-old during a recent interview. "He's a future star," Ibrahimovic declared, adding "Sesko has everything needed to reach the very top of the game."
Sesko's Meteoric Rise
The young forward has been making waves in the Bundesliga since his €24 million move to RB Leipzig last summer. With his combination of physical presence, technical ability and eye for goal, Sesko has drawn comparisons to a young Ibrahimovic himself.
- Scored 5 goals in his last 7 Bundesliga appearances
- Standing at 1.95m, dominates aerial duels
- Already captain of Slovenia's national team at just 20
Transfer Rumours Intensify
Ibrahimovic's comments have reignited transfer speculation, with several Premier League clubs reportedly monitoring Sesko's situation. Manchester United, where Ibrahimovic enjoyed two successful seasons, are among those linked with the Slovenian international.
RB Leipzig, known for developing young talent before selling at a premium, are believed to value Sesko at around €50 million. With his contract running until 2028, the German club are under no pressure to sell unless their valuation is met.
