"Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United and others are all interested in a potential 60m transfer move for RB Leipzig central defender Castello Lukeba. The France international has shone during his time in the Bundesliga, establishing himself as one of the top young defensive players in Europe. As reported here for the Daily Briefing, this has now led to the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea to show a strong interest in Lukeba."
"My source told me: Lukeba has a release clause worth 90m, which clubs see as too high, but it's largely symbolic anyway the real asking price is more like 60m. Liverpool like him, but you can add Chelsea, Man United, Newcastle and Real Madrid to that list. Liverpool are at risk of losing Ibrahima Konate as he nears the end of his contract, and Lukeba could make sense as a perfect replacement if the LFC man does end up moving on."
Castello Lukeba is a 22-year-old France international central defender who has emerged as a leading young performer in the Bundesliga for RB Leipzig. RB Leipzig hold a 90m release clause for Lukeba but are prepared to accept a fee closer to 60m. Several major clubs, including Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, Newcastle and Real Madrid, have expressed interest. Liverpool first scouted Lukeba in the summer and remain interested, potentially needing a replacement if Ibrahima Konate departs. Chelsea could view Lukeba as an upgrade given injury issues for Wesley Fofana and Levi Colwill and current defensive options.
