Castello Lukeba

Recent reports from early-to-mid 2026 consistently mention an active release clause of €80 million for the summer window. However, it is widely reported that RB Leipzig has an internal agreement to sell Castello Lukeba for a lower fee, with the negotiable asking price frequently cited in the €60-70 million range. Specific figures mentioned include potential deals for approximately €57.5 million (£50m), a range of €60-65 million, and offers between €65-70 million being considered. An older report from March 2025 mentioned a €65 million offer from Real Madrid. For historical context, he transferred from Lyon to RB Leipzig in August 2023 for a reported €30 million.

Our valuation for Castello Lukeba is driven by a strong consensus across numerous recent reports from 2026 indicating that while he has an €80 million release clause, RB Leipzig is willing to negotiate a sale. The most frequently cited range for a transfer is between €60 million and €70 million, with multiple sources suggesting an agreement can be reached around €65 million. This represents a significant appreciation from his €30 million transfer in 2023 and reflects sustained interest from top Premier League clubs.
