Chelsea and Bayern Compete for Lukeba

RB Leipzig central defender Castello Lukeba has become a transfer target for Chelsea. Chelsea is searching for a left-footed central defender, and the 22-year-old French footballer is reportedly being considered as one of the primary options, according to TEAMtalk.

Bayern Munich, meanwhile, has shown interest in Lukeba for a long time and could start negotiations in the summer if Dayot Upamecano leaves the club. Castello Lukeba's contract with RB Leipzig includes a €80 million release clause, while Transfermarkt values the player at half that amount.

This season, the talented defender has participated in 14 matches across all competitions, scoring one goal and providing one assist.
