The race for RB Leipzig’s defensive sensation Castello Lukeba has taken a dramatic twist, with Manchester United, Liverpool, and Chelsea all plotting to hijack Real Madrid’s summer pursuit of the French center-back.
Lukeba, 21, has emerged as one of Europe’s most sought-after young defenders, and his £74.5 million release clause is proving no deterrent for England’s heavyweights. Madrid were reportedly in pole position to secure his services, but with three Premier League giants now circling, the battle for his signature is set to intensify.
United view Lukeba as a long-term replacement for Raphael Varane, Liverpool see him as Virgil van Dijk’s successor, while Chelsea remain keen on bolstering their defensive ranks. With a summer bidding war looming, the question remains—can Madrid hold off the Premier League invasion?
