RB Leipzig wants to sign Jobe Bellingham this summer, while Benjamin Šeško’s future remains uncertain amid interest from Europe’s elite clubs.
RB Leipzig are reportedly making concrete moves to sign Jobe Bellingham from Sunderland, and this could mark the start of a potential new attacking partnership with Benjamin Šeško.
According to Florian Plettenberg, the German Bundesliga side has already initiated contact regarding the talented younger brother of Jude Bellingham. The 18-year-old attacking midfielder has impressed in the Championship and is now a top target for Leipzig, who are known for nurturing young talent.
The development raises intriguing possibilities, especially given the current situation around Šeško. The Slovenian striker has enjoyed a strong debut season in Germany, and while Leipzig want to keep him, his name is consistently linked with top European clubs like Arsenal, Manchester United, and AC Milan.
A potential Jobe-Šeško pairing would offer Leipzig a dynamic and youthful offensive core, but it remains to be seen if Šeško will still be part of the project come August. The 20-year-old has scored 17 goals in all competitions this season and is seen as one of Europe’s fastest-rising forwards.
Jobe Bellingham, meanwhile, is also attracting interest from Borussia Dortmund, Chelsea, Manchester United, and even Real Madrid. Leipzig are hoping to strike early and convince him to join their ambitious long-term project — the same one that helped develop players like Christopher Nkunku, Josko Gvardiol, and Dominik Szoboszlai.
With Leipzig eyeing Bellingham and clubs circling around Šeško, the upcoming transfer window could prove decisive in shaping the Bundesliga side’s future offensive identity.
