Castello Lukeba of RB Leipzig is a player that Liverpool is interested in signing; he may be moving next summer as additional teams show interest. Fichajes claims that Liverpool is one of the major suitors for Castello Lukeba in the summer of 2019. The fearsome RB Leipzig center-back, who might move for a sum of over €60 million, is also being watched intently by Aston Villa and Real Madrid.
As Castello Lukeba rose through Lyon’s ranks, he was always seen as a tremendous talent. Following the significant sale of Josko Gvardiol to Manchester City, RB Leipzig quickly acquired the French defender for a price that was around €30 million, and he has shown that the investment was worthwhile.

Lukeba has already been making significant contributions to the Bundesliga team, drawing interest from some of the larger clubs. Teams like Liverpool have taken notice because it has been rumoured that Leipzig would be willing to double their investment and sell Lukeba for around €60 million the following summer.
Lukeba’s defensive status was apparently disclosed to Liverpool when they made an inquiry about the player in the summer. Castello Lukeba is at the top of Arne Slot’s list of targets as he looks to establish his dominance in the squad. The team’s long-term future is now the manager’s responsibility to consider. Further, Lukeba’s €60 million valuation and the Dutch veteran’s profile make him the perfect Virgil van Dijk substitute.
