Reporter: Barcelona Interested in Signing Lukeba, Player Listed as One of the Reinforcement Options
ScoreFast365 August 25 - Recently, Spanish journalist Jose Alvarez Hay revealed that Barcelona has identified Leipzig center-back Lukeba as their top target for defensive reinforcements, with both parties having engaged in positive discussions recently.
The journalist noted that before the summer transfer window closes, up to five players from Barcelona's squad could leave, and if Balde departs, the club will immediately initiate plans to acquire a center-back. The 23-year-old Lukeba has gained unanimous recognition from Barcelona's scouting department due to his left-footed center-back attributes and excellent physical qualities, with a transfer fee expected to be between €30 million and €40 million. Currently, Leipzig considers him a key player, but Barcelona has already begun preliminary discussions regarding personal terms, with progress reported to be good.
