Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing 22-year-old defender Castello Lukeba from Bundesliga club RB Leipzig.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Liverpool and Real Madrid are also interested in RB Leipzig defender Castello Lukeba. Chelsea are ready to submit a bid worth €55-60 million to sign the Frenchman from the Bundesliga club, and it will be interesting to see if the West London club can get the deal done.
The Blues need to add more quality and depth to their defensive unit. Chelsea have looked quite vulnerable at the back, and the French defender will certainly help them improve. Lukeba is a young player with a lot of potential, and he could develop into a top-class player for Chelsea with the right guidance.
The opportunity to move to the Premier League will be exciting for him. It would be a step up in the Frenchman’s career, and he would get to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world. He will also look to fight for major trophies with them.
On the other hand, Liverpool have been keen on signing the 22-year-old for a long time, as Ibrahima Konate will be out of contract at the end of the season and they might need to replace him. Signing the youngster would be a wise decision.
The RB Leipzig defender is a quality player, and he has shown his ability in Germany. He has the physicality and technical attributes to do well in the Premier League as well. He would be a long-term acquisition for the Premier League contenders.
Real Madrid keen on Lukeba
Finally, Real Madrid are interested in the player. Los Blancos are looking to build a formidable team for the future, and they need to add more quality to the defensive unit. David Alaba and Antonio Rudiger are in the twilight stages of their careers, and Real Madrid will need to replace them. Signing the Bundesliga star would be ideal.
The Merengues have the resources to pay the asking price for him, and it will be interesting to see if they can beat the Premier League clubs in the race for his signature. The 22-year-old defender will want to compete at a high level. The opportunity to join any of the three clubs will be exciting for him. It remains to be seen where he ends up.
