Benjamin Sesko: Why RB Leipzig Was the Better Choice
Benjamin Sesko, the 20-year-old striker, recently joined RB Leipzig in a €24 million (£20.6 million) deal this summer. Despite interest from Manchester United, Sesko insists that he made the “better” decision to join RB Leipzig. In this article, we will explore Sesko’s reasons for choosing RB Leipzig over Manchester United and his belief that RB Leipzig can challenge Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga title.
Interest from Manchester United
Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, had made signing a new striker one of his priorities in the summer transfer window. Sesko was on United’s shortlist, but the club did not follow up on their interest. Instead, they opted to sign Rasmus Hojlund in a £72 million deal from Atalanta.
Sesko’s Move to RB Leipzig
Meanwhile, Sesko completed his move to RB Leipzig after the deal with Red Bull Salzburg was initially agreed upon last year. The Slovenia international is confident that he made the right choice to join the Bundesliga club.
Similar Style of Football
When asked about United’s interest, Sesko stated that he wasn’t really involved in those conversations. However, he believes it was better for him to come to RB Leipzig. Sesko emphasized the importance of going to a place that plays a similar style of football. He already knew what he had to do and didn’t have to go through a whole learning process again.
Challenging Bayern Munich
Sesko also expressed his belief that RB Leipzig is capable of challenging Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga title. He acknowledged that it would be a tough task, considering the number of games and the need to perform at 100% or even more every single game. However, Sesko is confident in the team’s abilities and sees a big chance for success this year.
Conclusion
Benjamin Sesko’s decision to join RB Leipzig over Manchester United was based on his desire to play in a similar style of football and avoid a steep learning process. He believes that RB Leipzig has the potential to challenge Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga title. Only time will tell if Sesko’s decision proves to be the right one, but for now, he is focused on giving his best for RB Leipzig and helping the team achieve success.
