The competition is heating up among Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester United for the signing of French defender Castello Lukeba, who plays for German club Leipzig, with an offer valued at around 60 million euros, according to the website 'Fichajes'.

The source clarified that Liverpool is the most serious in moving to sign the player, having faced defensive issues recently due to injuries and the unclear future of some of its players, especially Ibrahima Konaté. The English club sees Lukeba as an ideal option to strengthen the backline in the upcoming period.

The report added that Chelsea and Manchester United have also shown significant interest in the 22-year-old French defender, as they are considering the possibility of making official offers during the next transfer window to bolster their defenses.

It is worth noting that Castello Lukeba grew up in the Olympique Lyon academy before moving to Leipzig in 2023, where he established himself as one of the top young defenders in Europe thanks to his physical strength and ability to read the game.

The same source confirmed that the player's future remains uncertain, amid Leipzig's desire to retain his services, contrasted with the insistence of major English clubs to sign him in the upcoming period.
