The 20-year-old forward, recognized as one of Europe’s most promising talents, completed a significant move from Red Bull Salzburg to Leipzig last summer.
His standout performances this season, including eight goals in 25 games, have sparked rumors of Chelsea expressing interest in signing him at the season’s end.
Milan, in search of a replacement for Olivier Giroud, has also been linked to the player since his transfer to Leipzig, making previous attempts to secure his signature.
According to Romano, Benjamin Sesko’s potential transfer is gaining attention from major clubs, notably Milan.
Though no ongoing negotiations have been reported, multiple clubs have shown interest, and both Milan and Chelsea are actively pursuing a new number nine in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Giroud, at 38, faces a potential departure as his contract with Milan is set to expire.
Chelsea is exploring various options for their striking role, with Victor Osimhen, Dusan Vlahovic, and Ivan Toney included in their shortlist.
Sesko’s contract reportedly includes a €50 million release clause.
His ascent began in 2019 when he joined Salzburg from the Slovenian club Domzale.
Salzburg, renowned for developing attacking talents like Sadio Mane, Erling Haaland, and Karim Adeyemi, views Sesko as the next potential star in their prolific development system.
Sesko’s impact goes beyond club football, as he has scored 10 goals for the Slovenia national team.
Anticipation surrounds his role in Euro 2024, marking Slovenia’s return to the Euros after a 24-year hiatus, with Sesko expected to play a crucial part in their campaign.
