Castello Lukeba open to Barcelona move in January or summer
RB Leipzig defender Castello Lukeba has signaled willingness to join Barcelona, preferring the Catalan club over Premier League interest following Andreas Christensen's injury.
Castello Lukeba has indicated he would accept a move to Barcelona if the club decides to act in January or next summer.
The RB Leipzig defender is being monitored by the Catalan side following Andreas Christensen's latest injury. Lukeba would prefer to join Barcelona over Premier League clubs, several of which made enquiries about him during the summer window.
Hansi Flick has received positive reports on the 23-year-old and believes he can adapt to his style of play. Barcelona considered strengthening the defence last summer but ultimately invested in attacking positions. Deco had believed a left-footed defender would make sense, but nothing materialised.
Lukeba can leave for roughly €50m to €65m. His contract runs until the summer of 2029. Barcelona do not plan to sign a defender in January unless a major sale takes place.
