Arsenal Eye Leipzig’s Castello Lukeba as Reports Point to €60m Price

Reports indicate Leipzig may entertain offers around £52m–€60m despite a contract clause near £70m.

Overview

  • Spanish outlet Fichajes, relayed by UK sites, reports Arsenal have shown aggressive interest in making the 23-year-old France centre-back a summer signing.
  • Lukeba has 19 appearances this season for RB Leipzig and has earned senior caps for France, fitting the ball-playing profile Mikel Arteta prefers.
  • Coverage says Leipzig could consider bids near £52m (~€60m) even though Lukeba’s deal runs to 2029 with a reported release clause of about £70m.
  • Real Madrid are also tracking the defender, and a newer report cites interest from Bayern Munich and Aston Villa, underscoring broader competition for a summer move.
  • No formal approach or agreement has been confirmed, and any deal could affect Arsenal’s centre-back mix, potentially prompting moves if current options depart.
