Sesko's agent tells of 'special club' as Man Utd push to sign the Leipzig striker

Benjamin Šeško’s agent Elvis Basanovic says that the striker will leave Leipzig for a "special club" amid interest from Manchester United.

He said: "It's not correct to speak about the names of clubs that are interested in Sesko but maybe it is right to clarify a few things. Let me tell you: Sesko is not competing with anyone. It's him vs him every day.

"We have a clear plan for the future and media speculation doesn't affect us. His numbers at his age are comparable to some strikers with already great careers.

"That confirms my words. He will move from RB Leipzig only when we recognise a special club. A special project with a special coach."

Basanovic firmly rejected suggestions that they were pressuring Leipzig to reduce the transfer fee for Šeško, stating those claims are “rubbish” and “far from the truth.”

He emphasized the mutual respect between his client and the German club, ensuring that any potential move would be conducted with full respect for Leipzig’s position and interests.

Basanovic told Sky Germany, “We respect RB Leipzig and I am 100 per cent convinced RB Leipzig will also respect our decision for the next step when we decide to do it.” He insisted there would be no attempts to force or blackmail the club into a transfer.

Basanovic highlighted the values they bring to the negotiating table, underlining the importance of dignity and proper conduct during transfer sagas.

He said: “In the football world there should be more respect. We do things the right way or we don't do them. Even if it looks complicated in the media, in reality, it’s very simple.”

Regarding the timing of a move, Basanovic was non-committal, noting it could happen next week, next year, or even in three years, depending on “finding a special club, a special project, and a special coach.”

The decision will rest on Šeško’s satisfaction with the opportunity, rather than just the size of transfer offers.

According to other sources, while Arsenal are reportedly Šeško’s preferred destination, and he may have agreed personal terms, RB Leipzig are reportedly holding firm on a price tag rumored to be between €80–100m (£68–86m), and the process will move forward respectfully and transparently
