"Chelsea are looking to sign the French defender Castello Lukeba from RB Leipzig. They have scouted the 22-year-old central defender this season, and the scouts have come up with glowing reviews of the defender. Chelsea are looking to add more quality to the defensive unit, and they are prepared to submit an offer for him. According to a report from TEAMtalk, Chelsea are prepared to submit an offer soon, and they are hoping to sign him in January."
"They could offer around 48-52 million. Meanwhile, Liverpool and Manchester United are monitoring the 22-year-old defender as well. The report claims that the player has a release clause of 70 million, which will activate at the end of the season. However, the German club could look to sell him for a fee close to 52 million in January, if they fail to close in on the Champions League qualification positions."
"The opportunity to move to England could be quite exciting for Lukeba. It would be a major step up in his career. Chelsea are one of the biggest clubs around, and the opportunity to play for them will be quite attractive. Chelsea will be hoping to fight for major trophies in the coming seasons, and they need to tighten up at the back. The 22-year-old could prove to be an upgrade on some of the current options."
Chelsea have scouted 22-year-old French centre-back Castello Lukeba extensively this season and received glowing reviews. The club plans to submit a January offer around €48–52 million to strengthen the defensive unit. RB Leipzig has a €70 million release clause that activates at the end of the season, but the club could sell for approximately €52 million in January if Champions League qualification becomes unlikely. Liverpool and Manchester United are also monitoring the defender and could mount competition for his signature. Lukeba would represent a significant step up in competition and could provide long-term defensive stability and development potential.
