Overview

• Multiple reports say Liverpool are tracking the 22-year-old France international, with Chelsea, Manchester United, Newcastle and Real Madrid also linked.
• Though Lukeba’s release clause is cited at €90m, outlets report RB Leipzig would entertain offers closer to €60m (£52m).
• Lukeba is described as a left-footed, progressive centre-back strong in distribution and ball-carrying, a profile that aligns with Arne Slot’s possession setup.
• Liverpool’s interest is framed as contingency planning as Ibrahima Konaté enters the final year of his deal and Giovanni Leoni remains out long term.
• No bids or formal talks have been confirmed publicly, and competition from elite clubs could affect both pricing and whether any move happens before 2026.
