Bayern Keeping an Eye on Lukeba, But Player's Clause is Daunting

Bayern Munich is in search of a defender for the summer. The Munich club continues to closely monitor Leipzig's center-back Castello Lukeba.

Details. According to Transfer Update, Bayern's sporting director Max Eberl still holds a very high opinion of the 22-year-old central defender, whom he personally brought from Lyon to Leipzig in the summer of 2023. Lukeba is on Bayern's shortlist.

However, he is currently too expensive, even for Bayern. It is reported that he has three release clauses: €90 million (if the transfer occurs in 2025), €80 million (2026), and €65 million (2027).

Recall. It was previously reported that Liverpool is preparing for Lukeba's transfer. The Merseyside club is ready to pay €90 million for the talented footballer.
