La Liga giants Barcelona are considered a favoured future landing spot on the part of RB Leipzig star Castello Lukeba. This comes amid the ongoing speculation linking the two parties with a joining of forces.

It is of course common knowledge across the continent that Barcelona are on the lookout for reinforcements at the heart of defence.

After failing to bring in a new centre-back over the summer, an early-season injury crisis has seen the lack of depth in Hansi Flick’s backline laid bare.

Deco and co, in turn, are currently scouring Europe and beyond, for the right profile to slot into Flick’s demanding system.

One such option touted in the media over recent days comes in the form of the aforementioned Castello Lukeba, left-footed, dynamic and with plenty of room for growth.

And interest in teaming up over the months ahead appears to be very much mutual, too. As per a report from market insider Fabrizio Romano, cited by Diario Sport:

“Lukeba would be delighted to go to Barcelona. His dream is to sign for a big European club, and Barça is one of the teams he would like to join.”
