British media "caughtoffside" reported that Liverpool intends to sign Leipzig defender Lukeba and believes that the player's termination fee price is possible.

Sources revealed that Liverpool is trying to sign the highly acclaimed French defender at a price lower than market estimates, and Lukeba, 22, is considered one of the most promising new stars in the Bundesliga. Although the player's contract with Leipzig will not expire in 2029, Leipzig has failed to qualify for the European Cup next season, and Lukeba hopes to join a Champions League team.

Lukeba's contract has a 90 million euro termination clause, but it is understood that this number is largely symbolic. During the internal discussion between Lukeba and Leipzig, the two sides reached an agreement that if a suitable club appeared, the cost could be greatly reduced.

Liverpool hopes to take advantage of the agreement and is ready to make an offer of about £50-55 million. They believe that this price can reflect market value and also provide Leipzig with funds to supplement new aid. The Reds' senior executives are optimistic about this, and they believe that the players' own wishes and Leipzig's perception of the situation will help the deal, and Liverpool hopes to avoid long-term negotiations that lead to the failure of the transfer.

At the same time, Konath's future is still unclear, while Konsa has transferred to Leverkusen, and the Reds need to introduce a central defender to maintain the depth and strength of the lineup. Sources revealed that Lukeba is full of expectations for joining Liverpool. There he will have the opportunity to participate in the highest level of competition, and he is surrounded by players like Van Dijk and Robertson. However, Liverpool will face competition from Bayern and Tottenham.
