Writing on X, Sky Deutschland's Florin Plettenberg said: "Until now, there had only been talk of a verbal agreement, but Benjamin Sesko has a formally fixed release clause in his contract until 2029.

"This clause can be activated starting this summer. It is tied to various parameters – such as games played, goals, and assists – and increases regularly.

"Currently, the clause stands at around €70m for the 21-y/o top striker, but by the end of the season, it is expected to reach approximately €80m (£66m).

"All top English clubs have expressed interest, including Manchester United, Tottenham, and Arsenal. The only club not involved in the race is Manchester City."
