Liverpool is interested in signing RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesco at the end of the season and will face competition from Premier League rival Chelsea.
According to Fichajes, the striker is valued at 84 million euros, and the two clubs could be priced out of his move.
The players are also linked to Arsenal and Manchester United.
The asking price is too high
The Slovenians are incredibly talented, but Liverpool and Chelsea are reluctant to pay him such money. It will be interesting to see if the Bundesliga costumes are ready to be more reasonable at their request.
The Striker has made his target contribution for 27 this season, and he could prove to be a great acquisition for both clubs. He has been labelled as an “extraordinary” player in the past and has the tools to develop into a reliable Premier League striker.
Liverpool and Chelsea need Benjamin Sesco
Liverpool will need to bring an upgrade to Darwin Nunes, who has been pretty overwhelmed this season. Slovenians could prove to be a quality long-term alternative to South America. The opportunity to participate in the Premier League champions is also extremely exciting for players.
Similarly, Chelsea can use the Nicholas Jackson upgrade. The former La Liga striker is reasonably good, but the Blues need more quality if they want to fight for a major trophy.
Sesko is more than just a goal scorer, and he adds creativity to the side as well. He is very good at attracting defenders in one and one situation. He adds pace and flare to the sides.
Liverpool and Chelsea have become attractive destinations for players, and it remains to be seen what agreement of the two clubs agree to with the German outfit. They may have to pay him the premiums now, but he has now justified his spending in the long term.
