Florentino Activates It Now: TOP Transfer Scheduled by Real Madrid for 90 Millions

One of the priorities Real Madrid has placed on its transfer list for the 2025 summer market is an addition to the central defense. The white bosses, aware of the complicated situation Carlo Ancelotti is experiencing in the last four months, have decided to intervene to solve the dilemma immediately and completely.

At this point in the season, several names circulating in the orbit of the white club, but none are solid enough to be indisputable for the competitive future. One of the players who holds a high position on the list of chosen ones is of high market value.

The incorporation of Castello Lukeba won't be easy. The French player from RB Leipzig is one of the reference players in the Bundesliga: at just 22 years old, the French central defender attracts the attention of several elite clubs. Among them is Madrid, which is already informed of his price: 90 million euros.

The transfer demanded from Red Bull Arena's noble area, for now, would be too much for the standards proposed from the Valdebebas offices. Because Florentino Pérez doesn't seem willing to spend more than 50 million euros on the arrival of a player to expand the central defense.

We'll see

However, what happened in the "Yoro case" last summer would be a lesson well considered by the board of directors. That's why they would be considering getting rid of those restrictions definitively and investing a large part of their transfer budget in resolving one of the most critical urgencies of the first team.

Because Castello Lukeba seems to be one of the best players available right now to expand the roster of center-backs despite his price. The arrival of the French player would help with the generational change and contain a crisis that started a year and a half ago.

The injury of David Alaba, a year ago, has been one of the main problems the merengue sports discipline has dealt with. The relapse of Éder Militão, once again in the infirmary due to a torn anterior cruciate ligament, leaves only Antonio Rüdiger and Raúl Asencio available for Carlo Ancelotti.

The exceptional reinforcement that Aurélien Tchouaméni is providing wouldn't be necessary as long as Castello Lukeba arrives in Santiago Bernabéu locker room in 2025. Despite everything, the white executives will continue looking for other less costly... but equally effective options for the European soccer elite.
