Liverpool seeks to sign RB Leipzig defender Castello Lukeba, joining Bayern Munich and Tottenham in the pursuit. The 22-year-old impressed with 31 appearances in the last season, earning a senior France cap. Despite Leipzig's disappointing season, Lukeba's performance stood out. His release clause is approximately 78 million, but an informal understanding might allow a lower fee. However, Leipzig's strong negotiating position persists due to his contract until 2029. Liverpool is also addressing long-term defensive needs, considering Ibrahima Konate's uncertain contract situation.
Liverpool have reportedly entered the race to sign RB Leipzig's highly rated defender Castello Lukeba this summer, joining Bayern Munich and Tottenham in monitoring the French centre-back.
Lukeba made 31 appearances across all competitions in the 2024/25 campaign and while Leipzig did not perform as well as they were expected to do, his personal performances did not go unnoticed.
With Lukeba's current deal running until 2029, Leipzig hold a strong negotiating position, and the player will not come cheap, particularly given the level of interest surrounding him.
The Premier League champions are aware of the need to have long term solutions for their defense, especially in light of the contract situation involving Ibrahima Konate.
