Castello Lukeba

Recent reports from summer 2026 consistently mention an active release clause of €80 million. However, it is widely reported that RB Leipzig has an internal agreement to sell for a lower amount, with figures frequently cited in the €60-70 million range. Specifically, reports from June 2026 mention a willingness to sell for €55-70 million and a potential departure fee of €60-65 million. Reports from March and April 2026 also state Leipzig would consider offers between €65-70 million, with some suggesting a deal could be done for around £55 million (approx. €65 million). Earlier in 2026, his value was reported by one outlet at £60 million (approx. €71 million), while his Transfermarkt value was cited at €45 million. In August 2023, he completed a transfer from Lyon to RB Leipzig for a reported €30 million.

Our valuation for Castello Lukeba is driven by a strong consensus in multiple recent reports from early-to-mid 2026 stating that while he has an €80 million release clause, RB Leipzig is prepared to sell him for a lower fee. The most frequently cited range is between €60 million and €70 million, with some reports suggesting a deal could be done for as low as €55 million. His trajectory is strong, having more than doubled in value since his €30 million transfer in 2023.
