RB Leipzig director and main figure of the RedBull Group Oliver Mintzlaff has held talks with the representatives of Chelsea and Manchester United target Benjamin Šeško ahead of a summer move according to Fabrizio Romano.
Despite the 19-year-old seeming destined to leave RB Salzburg this year, reports suggested that he could remain with RedBull in some capacity by making the move to Leipzig. Such a move may be difficult due to the interest from English big-hitters.
In 37 appearances last season, Šeško made headlines by finding the nets on 11 occasions whilst also contributing seven assists. His Salzburg contract is due to expire in 2026, leaving the Austrian outfit in a strong negotiating position.
