Arriving in the summer of 2023 from Olympique Lyonnais, Castello Lukeba continues his progress in the jersey of RB Leipzig. His performances attracted the attention of several European big names, starting with Real Madrid who appreciated his profile. Perhaps good news for the Rhone club that the central defender had left on bad terms.
Perceived as a formidable springboard towards the big boys of Europe, RB Leipzig could confirm its reputation with Castello Lukeba (21 years old). The central defender has been wearing the German team’s jersey for almost a year. And here he is already close to taking off towards more ambitious training. In any case, this is the trend announced by journalist Ekrem Konur. According to our colleague, several English and Spanish big names are interested in the Frenchman, starting with Real Madrid.
White House supervisors closely observe Castello Lukeba’s matches and appear to report positively on his performance. The Spanish champion, who wants to strengthen his central hinge with young talents for the future, appreciates his reading of the game, his power and his serenity with the ball. The French international, who only has one selection, it was during the friendly match won against Scotland (4-1) on October 17, 2023, therefore corresponds to the desired profile. It remains to be seen whether Real Madrid will be willing to align with RB Leipzig’s demands.
OL can recover a percentage
For the moment, we still do not know the price set. But given the competition on this issue, the Bundesliga resident should be greedy for his central defender purchased for 34 million euros (bonus included). Incidentally, a big transfer could delight Olympique Lyonnais who had negotiated 20% on a possible capital gain. Enough to reconcile Castello Lukeba and his training club who had separated on bad terms after the failure of a contract extension.
