Barcelona eyes RB Leipzig's Castello Lukeba as release clause set to drop

Barcelona is considering a move for RB Leipzig defender Castello Lukeba, who recently changed agents to Excellence Sport. Following this shift, his release clause is set to decrease from €80 million to €65 million next summer, making a potential transfer more feasible. While Leipzig is not open to selling Lukeba during the ongoing season, he is reportedly interested in joining Barcelona despite interest from Premier League clubs. The Catalans are exploring options to bolster their center-back positions, possibly letting go of Ronald Araujo and Alejandro Balde next summer.
