Slovenian Media Reveals Truth Behind Viral Claims as Striker’s Camp Urges Patience and Respect
The whirlwind of speculation linking Benjamin Sesko to Arsenal took an unexpected turn on Thursday when Slovenian media exposed the transfer rumours as false – tracing their origins to an unverified social media post that snowballed out of control.
How the Fake Story Spread
Reports claiming the RB Leipzig striker had agreed personal terms with Arsenal were revealed to stem from a now-deleted tweet citing German outlet Bild without evidence. Slovenian publication Ekipa swiftly debunked the claims, stating:
“Our reliable sources, including those close to Sesko, confirm this news is fake. When a move is imminent, it will break through credible channels – not anonymous social media accounts.”
Agent Sets the Record Straight
Sesko’s representative, Elvis Basanovic, delivered a firm rebuttal when questioned by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano:
“This is far from truth! We respect RB Leipzig, and they respect our timeline – whether the next step comes next week, next year, or beyond. Even if Benjamin desires a specific club, we’ll never force or blackmail Leipzig.”
His comments underscored growing frustration with transfer sensationalism, adding:
“Football needs more respect. We operate properly or not at all – even if media narratives complicate things.”
What’s Next for Arsenal?
While Sesko remains a long-term target, the Gunners must now:
- Verify sources before reacting to viral rumours
- Navigate Leipzig’s stance, as the Bundesliga club holds contractual control until 2028
- Consider alternatives, including Viktor Gyökeres, if negotiations stall
The Bottom Line: In an era of clickbait transfers, Sesko’s case serves as a reminder – until a club announcement drops, patience is key. For now, Arsenal’s striker hunt continues without confirmation or deadline.
