Now Slovenia head coach Kek, who previously spent time in the Middle East managing Al-Ittihad, has weighed in on the saga by advising Sesko to snub the lucrative offers from Saudi Arabia.
He said after his side ran out 2-1 winners over Bosnia and Herzegovina in a friendly on Tuesday night: "I would advise him never to go there. At least not at his age. This is a great recognition, these are clubs that mean a lot.
"It's not that I underestimate the Saudi league, on the contrary, I worked there at Ittihad and the club is still a part of me, I also watch the league regularly, but the time will come for that.
