Castello Lukeba is coy on reports suggesting that he could leave RB Leipzig in the summer.

Lukeba has been linked with clubs such as Arsenal and Liverpool, and when asked by Sport Bild whether he feels ready to move to a bigger club this summer, the 23-year-old centre-back responded:

“I still have time and don’t feel that this issue is urgent," Lukeba responded. 

“I know there are always transfer rumours about me. But it wouldn’t be good for me and wouldn’t be fair to the team if I started thinking about that now.”

Reports have suggested that Lukeba could command a fee of up to €90 million. Addressing those figures, he added:

“I don’t set these prices. So in the end, it doesn’t matter to me whether I’m valued at €180 million or €5. But if a transfer were to happen someday, I would think it’s fair for Leipzig to get a lot.”
