The two English clubs MU and Chelsea are currently coveting the same French player.

Castello Lukeba (21), the promising French full-back from RB Lepzig, is currently of great interest to two English giants, namely Manchester United and Chelsea.

Man United had spotted him quite a while ago, notably initiating a few approaches. The Blues joined the race, perhaps seduced by the good adaptations of his compatriots Axel Disasi and Malo Gusto. According to Foot Mercatothere should therefore be a battle between these two teams for the services of Bleuet.

Lukeba does not intend to move

Lukeba is currently experiencing his 1e year in Leipzig. This is also his very first season abroad. It is in full development, and it is not necessarily considering leaving for other destinations this summer. In the exclusive interview he gave to F365, he also said he really enjoyed the German Bundesliga.

Lukeba’s release clause at RB Leipzig is 70 million euros. Concerning its lease, it extends until 2028.
