Striker Benjamin Sesko remains loyal to Bundesliga club RB Leipzig, even though his idol Zlatan Ibrahimovic has come knocking. "He's my big idol," the 21-year-old told Sport Bild about the former Sweden star striker, who now works as a consultant for AC Milan. However, he has not yet received a call. "That's why I'm a bit jealous of my advisor, because they've been in contact," said Sesko.
His decision to extend his contract in Leipzig by one year until 2029, which became public in June, was well justified: "It will do me good to continue maturing in Leipzig. It wouldn't have been smart to leave after just one year," said the attacker. "I want to continue to gain experience at a very high level at RB Leipzig, and I'll need a lot of experience to get where I want to go."
