RB Leipzig not against cashing in on French centre-half duo this summer RB Leipzig are preparing for more movement at the centre-back position this summer, based on Sky Germany's latest update. The club are not adverse to the departure of Castello Lukeba, and the player himself is also ready for a new challenge. Lukeba's release clause stands at €80million, but the Saxony-based club would be willing to negotiate from around €60million.
Transfermarkt. com links the 23-year-old with a host of clubs including Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Manchester United and Arsenal. There could also be movement involving El Chadaille Bitshiabu after the French defender was already considering leaving last winter.
As a result, nothing can be ruled out for the summer, however Leipzig would prefer to keep Bitshiabu, but they are not excluding a transfer. A potential return to his homeland could be an option, with Ligue 1 side Olympique Lyon believed to be courting the 20-year-old. On the other hand, the Bundesliga club is surveying the market for centre-backs and preparing for possible developments.
