Arsenal on Verge of €100M Bombshell Transfer
Arsenal on Verge of €100M Bombshell Transfer
Leipzig demanding a staggering €100 millions
Chelsea and Manchester United, both of whom are also monitoring
Fresh off their dramatic victory over Real Madrid and with a Champions League semi-final against PSG on the horizon, the Gunners are already laying foundations for next season – and they’ve set their sights high.
A €100 Million Target in Their Crosshairs
Mikel Arteta’s side are reportedly preparing a blockbuster bid for RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Šeško, a 21-year-old Slovenian striker who’s been turning heads across Europe.
The north London club, the last English team standing in this year’s Champions League, are hoping to build a squad capable of competing for the biggest trophies consistently.
But this isn’t a done deal – far from it.
🚨 RB Leipzig are expected to set an £86m price tag for Benjamin Šeško, who is attracting interest from Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal.

Battle Brewing with Chelsea and United
Sources suggest that Arsenal face stiff competition from Premier League rivals Chelsea and Manchester United, both of whom are also monitoring Šeško closely.
With Leipzig demanding a staggering €100 millions, the race is on, and it’s heating up fast.
Šeško joined Leipzig from RB Salzburg in 2023 for €24 millions. Since then, he’s exploded onto the scene – scoring 19 goals and providing six assists in 40 appearances this season alone.
His lethal finishing, physicality, and intelligent movement have made him one of the most coveted young forwards in Europe.
Could He Break Arsenal’s Transfer Record?
Despite the massive fee, Šeško wouldn’t eclipse the club’s current record – the €116 millions Arsenal paid West Ham for Declan Rice last summer.
Still, a nine-figure move would represent a serious statement of intent from a club looking to cement their place among Europe’s elite.
One Final Piece for Arteta’s Puzzl
Arteta has built a cohesive, dynamic side that’s just a few steps away from greatness. Could Šeško be the missing piece that transforms Arsenal into serial contenders on all fronts?
Fans will be watching closely as this story unfolds. For now, it’s just speculation – but with the summer transfer window approaching, this saga could erupt any moment.
