Transfer Talk: Madrid, Liverpool, Man United eye Lukeba

Several big clubs in Europe are tracking RB Leipzig centre-back Castello Lukeba, according to RMC Sport's Fabrice Hawkins.

Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Manchester United are all believed to be interested in the 21-year-old, who has signed a new one-year contract extension until 2029 with a reported release clause of €90 million that comes into effect in 2025.

Despite the new deal, Leipzig are reported to be open to offers for him next summer. The highly rated France international is on the wishlist of multiple clubs, including Los Blancos as manager Carlo Ancelotti looks to reinforce his defence after landing Lukeba's compatriot Kylian Mbappe in the last transfer window.

Liverpool have been keen to strengthen at centre-back and Lukeba could be seen as a potential future successor to Virgil van Dijk amid ongoing discussions with the Reds captain over a new deal. Meanwhile, Man United are also interested in a new defender as the futures of a number of their older players remain uncertain.
