RB Leipzig are open to the transfer of France-born defender of Angolan descent, Castello Lukeba, but are demanding a hefty fee.
According to sources, the German Bundesliga side is demanding the full payment of the release clause of the youngster before sanctioning any move this summer.
Lukeba’s strong performances in the 2024/25 season, despite a two-month injury setback, have attracted serious interest from top European clubs.
According to Footmercato, German champions Bayern Munich are among the clubs keen on Lukeba.
In addition to the interest from the German giants, Premier League sides Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are also monitoring his situation closely.
RB Leipzig have set a release clause of €90 million in Lukeba’s contract, which runs until 2029.
Although sources suggest the club could be willing to negotiate a lower fee if a serious offer is made, it will take a lot of convincing.
Lukeba is reportedly open to a move, especially to secure a more permanent role in the French national team.
After his involvement in the U21 European Championship, the coming weeks could prove pivotal in shaping his future.
He is expected to meet with his agent to assess his options and decide his future.
