Sesko's contract includes a release clause worth just over €80m (£68.5m/$93m), but Arsenal have instead been aiming to do a deal at closer to €70m (£60m/$81m) and they are also not minded to pay Chelsea's demanded fee for Madueke. They have also been in talks with Sporting CP over Viktor Gyokeres.
DID YOU KNOW?
Madueke only joined Chelsea in 2023 and has a contract until 2030. He made 32 Premier League appearances last season, scoring seven goals and registering four assists. As the Blues are eyeing a move for Borussia Dortmund's Jamie Gittens, Madueke could lead an exodus this summer.

Arsenal will hope to get a deal done for a new forward before the new season begins. They are next in action against AC Milan next month in a pre-season friendly.
