""It is TRUE: Castello Lukeba is on the radar at Bayern Munich. There's a connection with Max Eberl, who previously worked at RB Leipzig. He knows the player, as does Christoph Freund (who worked for Red Bull as well). However, he is expensive. You would make this deal in the event you had to replace Jonathan Tah or Dayot Upamecano, but at the moment, they have these two defenders, and he wouldn't want to be a backup option. So, at the moment, this deal isn't hot.""
""Arsenal have already begun laying the groundwork for a potential move, holding initial discussions with Lukeba's representatives, although no formal bid has been submitted yet. Their interest is long-standing, with the club closely tracking his development and viewing him as a high-upside defensive addition.""
Bayern Munich is reconsidering its pursuit of RB Leipzig defender Castello Lukeba, which could favor Arsenal. Lukeba is highly sought after, with clubs like Arsenal and Manchester United interested. Bayern's current defensive lineup, including Dayot Upamecano and Jonathan Tah, complicates the deal, as Lukeba may not want a backup role. His release clause is £69m, but Leipzig might accept offers around £52m. Arsenal has initiated discussions with Lukeba's representatives, indicating a strong interest in acquiring him as a valuable defensive asset.
