According to some recent speculations, Liverpool may already be keeping a watch on the summer transfer window. The Reds will prioritize the activity on the field for the time being, but they have a few months to be ready for their summer business. With a seven-point advantage over second-place Arsenal, Arne Slot’s team leads the Premier League standings. Had Liverpool not been forced to settle for a 2-2 draw against Everton in the Merseyside Derby on Wednesday night, their lead could have increased to nine points.
The Premier League match between Liverpool and Wolves on Sunday will now be the focus of attention. Though only one-third of the season remains, speculation is already circulating over the possible transfer activity the Reds may choose to undertake this summer. There are already rumors that Liverpool might be actively looking for players to sign before the summer transfer window opens. Castello Lukeba, a player for RB Leipzig, is one who the Reds are reportedly interested in.
Liverpool interested in £75m Leipzig defender who wants big move
RB Leipzig’s center-back Castello Lukeba is looking for a major move this summer, as sources in Germany indicate that teams like Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Real Madrid are all interested. After playing for Lyon’s first squad for two seasons, the 22-year-old moved to the Bundesliga in 2023 for €34 million. Numerous major clubs across the world have taken notice of his performances for both club and country.
The teenage center defender has been linked to moves from Real Madrid, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester United, according to Sport Bild. Lukeba’s contract contains a €90 million (£75 million) release clause that is active this summer. The defender is allegedly hoping that a team of such caliber will activate it. His injury record this season, which has limited him to just 11 Bundesliga matches thus far due to a hamstring issue, may further raise concerns.
