Castello Lukeba is reported to have a third exit clause in his recently extended contract. 'Sky' reports that the 21-year-old will be allowed to leave RB Leipzig in 2027 for a fixed transfer fee of 65 million euros. The fixed fee for the upcoming summer is 90 million euros, and in 2026, it is 80 million euros. Last Wednesday, the French central defender extended his contract with the Champions League participant by another year until 2029. In addition to a salary increase, leaked information revealed the exit clauses for 2025 and 2026, and contrary to previous knowledge, a clause for 2027 is also included in the contract.

Castello Lukeba, a French central defender with RB Leipzig, has a release clause valid until the summers of 2025 and 2026, set at a fixed transfer fee of 90 million euros. If transferred for this sum, Lukeba would join the ranks of the world's most expensive defenders, similar to his predecessor Josko Gvardiol of Manchester City. Leipzig recently disclosed that Lukeba's contract has been extended by one year, now running until 2029, which is said to include a substantial salary increase.

Pep Guardiola and Manchester City have expressed interest in acquiring Castello Lukeba, a talented 21-year-old French central defender, for the summer 2025 transfer window. Although Lukeba is in the midst of contract extension discussions with RB Leipzig, potentially prolonging his tenure until 2029, Manchester City, along with other major Premier League clubs, are eager to secure his services. Lukeba's defensive solidity, proficiency with the ball, and aerial strength are seen as ideal qualities for Guardiola's style of play, which emphasizes defenders starting plays from the back.

Castello Lukeba's contract with RB Leipzig was extended until 2029. It includes a release clause for the coming summer that is not under 90 million euros. If Lukeba chooses to leave in 2027, RB Leipzig secured a similarly high sum compared to the current release clause.
