Overview

• Liverpool are monitoring the 22-year-old centre-back as they plan for defensive needs linked to Giovanni Leoni’s ACL layoff and Ibrahima Konaté entering his contract’s final year.
• Chelsea, Manchester United, Newcastle and Real Madrid are also credited with interest, with further links to Bayern Munich and Tottenham in broader reports.
• Multiple outlets describe a €90m clause in Lukeba’s deal, yet suggest Leipzig would consider offers around €60m, approximately £52m.
• No formal bids or agreements have been reported, and timelines vary, with some speculation of a possible winter move.
• Lukeba is a left-footed France international established at Leipzig and profiled as a progressive passer and carrier suited to Arne Slot’s possession-based approach.
