RB Leipzig ‘open to selling’ French centre-back duo this summer | OneFootball

RB Leipzig could sell Castello Lukeba and El Chadaille Bitshiabu this summer if respectable offers arrive.

Sky Germany reports Leipzig are preparing for further movement at centre-back, are not averse to Lukeba departing, and the player is ready for a new challenge. Transfermarkt links the 23-year-old with Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Manchester United and Arsenal.

Lukeba’s release clause is €80 million, though the Saxony club would be willing to negotiate from around €60 million.

There could also be movement involving Bitshiabu, who had considered leaving last winter. Leipzig would prefer to keep him, but they are not excluding a transfer. A return to France is an option, with Olympique Lyon believed to be courting the 20-year-old.

Meanwhile, Leipzig are surveying the centre-back market and preparing for possible developments.
