Leipzig Director: Many teams are interested in Sheshko, so they decided not to let him play

Hupu reported on August 3 that after losing to Atlanta 1-2, RB Leipzig sports director Marcel Schefel talked about the situation of Sheshko and why he did not play.

"As far as Benji is concerned, there have been many clubs expressing tangible interest. Based on the overall situation, we decided that he will not play today. But what I want to emphasize is: this does not mean that he will not play next week."

Last year, Sheshko has attracted widespread attention, and clubs such as AC Milan and Arsenal have paid attention to him. Eventually, Sheshko extended the contract until 2029, but the two sides shook hands to assure that he could leave this year if he received a good offer.

Schaefer:

"I think the same happened with Benji last year. Everyone knows the result. So I want to make it clear that he will not go to any club now. Since several clubs have shown very clear interest in him, we decided today that he will not play."

Of course, Sheshko has always been eager to play. But in the end, he expressed his understanding:

"Even in this case, our principles are our decisions together. It is obvious that he has always been eager to play, and he is ambitious."
