Castello Lukeba keen to leave RB Leipzig next summer

French defender Castello Lukeba is reportedly looking to leave RB Leipzig at the end of the season in search of a new challenge, Africasoccer has learned.

The 23-year-old centre-back has established himself as a regular at the Bundesliga club since joining from Olympique Lyonnais in the summer of 2023 for a reported €30m fee.

However, his future in Germany is now uncertain, with a possible move to the Premier League among the options previously linked to him.

€65m release clause could open door to Premier League move

Lukeba has made 113 appearances for RB Leipzig since arriving at the club and has featured 12 times in all competitions this season.

The French international, who has six senior caps, reportedly has a €65m release clause in his contract, according to Sky Sports Germany.

That figure could make him an attainable target for several Premier League clubs.

Defender changes agents ahead of summer exit

An indication of Lukeba’s desire for a fresh challenge is his recent decision to change agents.

The defender is understood to be considering a move during the summer transfer window, potentially bringing his spell at RB Leipzig to an end after three years.
