90 million for Lukeba. Real intends to match transfer record

Real Madrid is poised to match a record-breaking transfer. The "Los Blancos" are ready to splash an astronomical sum for Leipzig defender Castello Lukeba. This is reported by El Gol Digital.

Details: According to the source, the 22-year-old Frenchman is seen by the Spanish club's management as a long-term reinforcement for the team. They are willing to pay a hefty fee for Lukeba, as his contract includes a release clause of 90 million euros.

If the Madrid club activates this clause, the Frenchman's transfer will match Josko Gvardiol's record, becoming the most expensive defender transfer in history.

Reminder: Several clubs from the English Premier League are also interested in the player. Madrid intends to attempt the signing in the summer, as the team is facing defensive issues due to the constant injuries of key players.
