RB Leipzig defender Castello Lukeba has been linked with a move away from the German club in recent weeks.
According to Fichajes, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool are interested in the 22-year-old defender. It will be interesting to see if they come forward with an offer to sign him.
Liverpool could use Castello Lukeba
The 22-year-old is a talented young defender with a bright future, and he could become a top player if given the right guidance. Liverpool could use a player like him, especially with Ibrahima Konate’s future uncertain.
He will be out of contract at the end of the season and has yet to sign an extension with the Premier League champions. Liverpool will need to replace him, and signing Lukeba could prove to be a wise move.
Chelsea and Man United love Lukeba
Meanwhile, Chelsea are interested in Lukeba. They have had several injury issues at the back this season and they need more depth in that area of the pitch. The 22-year-old would be a long-term acquisition for them, and he also has the quality to improve them immediately. The opportunity to join one of England’s biggest clubs will be exciting for the Bundesliga defender. It remains to be seen whether Chelsea will be able to complete the deal.
Finally, Manchester United are also keeping an eye on their situation. They need to find a quality long-term replacement for Harry Maguire, and the French defender would be ideal. It remains to be seen whether the German team is ready to sanction his departure. Signing him for 60 million euros could prove to be a solid investment. The 22-year-old is a promising young talent and he could justify this investment in the near future.
