Liverpool preparing big-money move for RB Leipzig's Lukeba

RB Leipzig defender Castello Lukeba has caught the attention of top clubs with his performances, and his potential has made him a highly sought-after target. However, signing him won’t come cheap.

Details: According to Christian Falk, Liverpool is targeting the 22-year-old French center-back. However, the Reds will likely have to pay €90 million—the release clause in Lukeba’s contract, which becomes active in the summer.

Lukeba has emerged as a key candidate to strengthen Liverpool’s defense. Virgil van Dijk has been the leader at the back for several seasons, but uncertainty surrounding his contract—as well as those of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah—is pushing the club to explore the transfer market.

Reminder: Previously, reports suggested that Liverpool winger Luis Díaz has expressed his desire to join Barcelona.
