Real Madrid ‘to target’ RB Leipzig defender Castello Lukeba? | OneFootball

Real Madrid are searching for two new centre-backs, and attention has turned to the Bundesliga, with RB Leipzig’s Castello Lukeba emerging as a possible target.

fussballdaten.de suggests that Lukeba could be set to swap Saxony for the Spanish capital. Nico Schlotterbeck has also been linked with a move.

The French defender joined from Olympique Lyon for €31.7million in 2023 and has since become a mainstay in Leipzig’s back line.

He has made exactly 90 appearances for Leipzig, contributing two goals and one assist. This season the 23-year-old has played 18 times across competitions, helping keep eight clean sheets.

With BVB’s Schlotterbeck delaying his decision and Dayot Upamecano extending his Bayern contract, Lukeba may be Madrid’s next focus. One thing is clear, the La Liga giants are desperate to replace David Alaba and Antonio Rüdiger, who are now viewed as surplus to requirements.
