Manchester City interested in Castello Lukeba
Manchester City are on the hunt for reinforcements at centre-back, and Castello Lukeba has emerged as a top target for the English club.
The 22-year-old French defender currently plies his trade at RB Leipzig, where he has drawn attention—particularly during the Under-21 Euro. A product of Olympique Lyonnais, Lukeba has continued to develop in Germany and now boasts an impressive level of performance. He is highly regarded for his ball-playing ability, solid defensive positioning, and keen reading of the game. These attributes make him a well-rounded defender, capable of contributing both at the back and when pushing forward.

Pep Guardiola is looking for a player with a profile similar to Joško Gvardiol: a defender who can deliver defensive stability while actively contributing to build-up play from the back. RB Leipzig are reportedly seeking an offer in the region of €30 million for their player. Talks between the clubs are ongoing and, if all goes well, Lukeba could become a key addition for Manchester City next season.
