Liverpool wants Lukeba: Hot transfer of the Bundesliga sensation!
The future of Castello Lukeba, the 22-year-old defender from RB Leipzig, is the focus of several top European clubs. Liverpool FC in particular is showing interest in the talented Frenchman as the team prepares for the possible departure of Jarell Quansah. There were already rumors about a transfer of Lukeba to the English club last year, which is fueling speculation about a move in the coming transfer window. Loud RBLive Lukeba would be the third RB Leipzig player to move to Liverpool after Ibrahima Konaté and Dominik Szoboszlai left the club.
Lukeba only came to Leipzig from Olympique Lyon in the summer of 2023 and has quickly established himself as an indispensable top performer. His contract runs until 2029 and contains a staggered release clause: 90 million euros this summer, 80 million euros in 2026 and 65 million euros in 2027. A transfer within these frameworks seems realistic considering the demand for the player.
Interest from several top clubs
In addition to Liverpool, other top clubs such as Real Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester United are also showing great interest in Lukeba. Manchester United in particular have been pursuing the defender for some time. Chelsea has even made an initial inquiry about a possible transfer, like Football Transfers reported.
The competition for Lukeba is fierce. Despite the rumors of a change, a transfer this summer is not yet a done deal. However, RB Leipzig could part ways with the star player if they can sign Cristhian Mosquera from Valencia. The player is sought after across Europe and is awaiting a decision on the new coach, with an agreement with Ole Werner, the former Werder Bremen coach, said to be imminent.
This constellation leads to an exciting situation for RB Leipzig, who have to strategically weigh up whether they want to give up Lukeba or consider other options. The course of the coming weeks will be crucial to how Lukeba's personality develops and whether he can continue his career in one of the best leagues in Europe.
