Dani Olmo Already Knows, His Friend Is Going to the Premier League: Goodbye Barça

The dream signing for Barça takes another direction and seems to be definitively moving away from the Spanish league.

Transfer market rumors remain the central topic of conversation in European soccer. In this context, Benjamin Sesko, the Slovenian forward, has emerged as a key player for RB Leipzig in recent months. At 21 years old, Sesko is ready to make the leap to one of the most competitive leagues in the world: the Premier League.

The Rise of Benjamin Sesko

Benjamin Sesko is not unknown to soccer fans. Since his arrival at RB Leipzig, the forward has steadily earned his place on the team.

His goal-scoring ability and physique have made him one of the most sought-after footballers in Europe. At just 21 years old, he has proven to be a footballer with a bright future ahead.

His performance has caught the attention of major clubs, and his departure from Leipzig seems more than likely. According to journalist Florian Plettenberg, Benjamin Sesko's release clause, around 80 million euros, could be activated this summer.

The Premier League Fights for Him

The Premier League is one of the most desired destinations for footballers, and Benjamin Sesko is no exception. Three English giants, Arsenal, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur, have already shown interest in the Slovenian forward. Fierce competition is expected, as these clubs are willing to make a significant financial effort for his signing.

In fact, Arsenal could be the club closest to activating his release clause. However, Manchester United and Tottenham also intend to join the bidding. Meanwhile, Manchester City, despite their financial power, doesn't seem to be involved in the race for Sesko, at least for now.

Dani Olmo, His Friend and Teammate

An interesting detail is Benjamin Sesko's relationship with Dani Olmo, another prominent footballer from RB Leipzig. They both shared the locker room in the German team, where they formed an offensive partnership that contributed to the club's success.

Now, Dani Olmo finds himself in a complicated situation. With his friend's future in the Premier League drawing closer, Barça seems to have missed the opportunity to sign him.

Olmo, who has also been linked with FC Barcelona, knows that his teammate is about to embark on a new challenge in England. Although many expected Barça to attempt to sign Sesko, the Catalan club has decided to focus on other priorities. This decision, along with Sesko's imminent transfer, marks his farewell to Barça and his destination to the Premier League.
