It will become active this summer and is tied to several performance-based parameters.
Parameters such as games played, goals scored, and assists.
Currently, the 21-year-old striker’s clause is set at around €70m.
However by the end of the season, it is expected to rise to approximately €80m.
Premier League rivals in the mix for Benjamin Sesko
Plettenberg states that all of England’s top clubs have shown interest in Benjamin Sesko.
Manchester United, Tottenham, and Arsenal are all monitoring the Slovenian international.
The only major Premier League side not involved in the chase is Manchester City.
Sesko has been one of the most exciting young strikers in the Bundesliga this season, showcasing his pace, finishing ability, and aerial dominance.
His performances have caught the attention of clubs looking to strengthen their attacking options, with Tottenham now emerging as a serious contender for his signature.
United have been scouting strikers for months, with Sesko among several names on their shortlist alongside Viktor Gyokeres.
Arsenal, meanwhile, are in the market for a long-term No.9, and the Leipzig forward fits their profile.
Plettenberg insists the battle for Sesko is heating up ahead of the summer.
His future is likely to be one of the major transfer sagas of the window.
