AC Milan have apparently become aware of Benjamin Sekso in their search for reinforcements in attack. According to the Italian newspaper "Gazzetta dello Sport", the bosses of the Serie A club have put the Leipzig striker on their wish list. Advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic in particular is said to be keen on a move for the Slovenian.

Five goals in the last five Bundesliga games - the statistics speak for themselves. Sesko is currently in an absolute scoring mood, so it seems only logical that one or two top international clubs have the former Salzburg player on their radar. AC Milan, for example.

Soccer legend Ibrahimovic had already chosen the 20-year-old as his dream player in the winter, and the Swede is said to have enquired about Sesko from his compatriot and former RB professional Emil Forsberg.

Record transfer fee
The Italians now want to get down to business in the summer, according to reports. Following the departure of Olivier Giroud, Sesko is set to follow in the footsteps of the French world champion. A release clause of 50 million euros, which could rise to up to 75 million depending on goals and playing time, should make the transfer possible. This would make Sesko the most expensive new signing in the club's history. So far, Rafael Leao (€49.5 million; Lille) has held this title.
