The rumors about a transfer from Lukeba to Liverpool are not new and are circulating since 2024. Castello Lukeba has quickly developed into a top performer near Leipzig in the summer of 2023, and apparently his performance is also strongly valued by other major European clubs, such as Real Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester United.

contract and exit clause

Lukeba has a contract that is running until 2029, which is provided with a staggered exit clause. This summer a change would cost 90 million euros; In 2026 it would be 80 million euros and in 2027 only 65 million euros. This could be a realistic purchase option in the room if the clubs are ready to take these sums in hand. His Hamburg football club ( FussballTransfers.com ) 70 million euro exit clause only reaches from 2025, so that a transfer this summer is not yet of acute interest for RB Leipzig. Nevertheless, numerous scouts observe, including Chelsea and Manchester United, Lukeba.

The situation tightens, since Lukeba recently lost his regular place to El Chadaille Bitshiabu, but fought back with impressive performance. His convincing appearances even made a debut in the French national team, which further fueled the interest in him.

Leipzig's reaction and possible new additions

However,

rb Leipzig is not in a weak position. Those responsible could deal with a transfer from Lukeba, should they hire Cristhian Mosquera from Valencia. Mosquera is very popular in Europe and is currently waiting for a decision about the new Leipzig coach. An upcoming agreement with Ole Werner, the former coach of Werder Bremen, seems within reach.
