About Benjamin Sesko

After developing at NK Krsko and NK Domzale in Slovenia, the 1.95 meter tall attacker moved to FC Red Bull Salzburg in 2019, where he initially played on loan for FC Liefering in Austria's second division.

Due to his strong performances, the attacker made it into the Salzburg professional squad for the 2021/22 season (37 games, eleven goals, six assists). With Salzburg, Benjamin Sesko won the double and was top scorer in the ÖFB Cup, the Austrian cup competition, with five goals.

The move to RB Leipzig was already confirmed in August 2022; the Slovenian then spent another year on loan for Salzburg and was crowned double winner again. Benjamin Sesko has been playing for RBL since the 2023/24 season, winning the Supercup straight away (3-0 against FC Bayern Munich) and scoring a total of 18 goals.
