Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing wantaway RB Leipzig defender Castello Lukeba - but will likely have to tussle for him.
The Reds are ramping up their search for a centre-back after selling Jarell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen for £35million.
Lukeba, 22, has established a strong reputation over the past few seasons at Lyon and Leipzig and earned himself a senior France cap.
But the 6ft0in star is also the subject of interest from Bayern Munich and Tottenham, according to French outlet Foot Mercato.
They write that while his release clause is set at almost £78million, Leipzig have an informal agreement to let him leave for less.
