RB Salzburg are adamant that Benjamin Sesko will not be sold this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano.

RB Leipzig have been linked with a move for Sesko and have held "positive talks" with the player's agent, per Romano.

However, Salzburg don't want to let the Slovenian forward leave until 2023 at the earliest.

Meanwhile, Leipzig are said to be making progress in their pursuit of another striker, with Chelsea and Germany forward Timo Werner reportedly close to coming back to Red Bull Arena.
