The Saudi transfer wave is not slowing down. And this time, it is Al-Hilal making headlines again.
Fresh off several ambitious signings over the past year, the Riyadh-based club is back in the market.
Their new target is a young Bundesliga star with serious potential.
This player has been on Arsenal’s radar all summer. The Gunners viewed him as a long-term solution up front.
Mikel Arteta and the recruitment team were convinced by his performances in Germany and saw him as the perfect fit for their evolving attack.
But something shifted in recent weeks. Negotiations between the player’s camp and Arsenal have stalled.
The excitement that once surrounded this possible move has now cooled.
Arsenal are now signing Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting and so, they will not look at signing this player anymore.
Al-Hilal, watching from a distance, did not waste any time. According to TEAMtalk, they swooped in with a jaw-dropping €100 million offer.
The Saudi giants know exactly what they are doing. They want star power. And they have the money to back it.
This deal would be another major statement in their effort to build a squad capable of competing with European heavyweights.
The player in question is only 22. In the Bundesliga, he became one of the most talked-about names last season.
His pace, strength, and finishing ability stood out. And clubs across Europe took notice.
While many believed he would stay in Europe for now, the size of Al-Hilal’s offer has changed the story.
TEAMtalk now reports that Benjamin Sesko is seriously considering about the offer he received from Al-Hilal.
If he says yes, it would mark one of the most surprising transfers of the summer.
Liverpool are also showing interest in Sesko. So, Arne Slot and his team need to step up quickly to ensure they don’t lose out to the money power from the Saudi Pro League team.
Benjamin Sesko’s first priority will be to stay in Europe and play in the Champions League, something the English champions can offer easily.
