Saudi Pro League giants Al Hilal are preparing to make a massive move for Benjamin Sesko, a 22-year-old Bundesliga striker who was once a top target for Arsenal. The Riyadh-based club has launched a stunning €100 million offer for the Slovenian forward, who has been impressing with his pace, strength, and finishing ability in Germany.
Sesko was previously on Arsenal’s radar, with the Gunners admiring his speed, strength, and finishing ability. However, talks between the player and Arsenal hit a dead end, and the London club has since moved on to other targets, reportedly prioritising the signing of Sporting’s Viktor Gyokeres. Al Hilal, watching from a distance, didn’t waste any time swooping in with a jaw-dropping offer.

Despite his first priority being top-level European football, Sesko is reportedly seriously considering Al Hilal’s offer.
The Saudi giants are known for their big-money deals, and Sesko’s potential move would mark one of the shocks of the summer transfer window.
Liverpool have also reportedly entered the race, with Arne Slot keen on strengthening his squad with the young forward. However, it’s unclear if they’ll be willing to match Al Hilal’s offer.

If Al Hilal succeeds in signing Sesko, it would be a significant statement in their effort to build a squad capable of competing with European heavyweights.
The coming weeks in the transfer window will be crucial in determining Sesko’s future. Will Al Hilal’s massive offer be enough to lure him to the Saudi Pro League, or will he choose to stay in Europe with Liverpool or another top club? One thing is certain: Sesko’s decision will have significant implications for the transfer market and the future of football in Saudi Arabia
