Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) aim to strengthen their defense during the upcoming summer transfer window, with a particular emphasis on the center-back role.
In the recent January transfer window, they signed Lucas Beraldo, adding to their defensive options. Now, PSG is competing with Chelsea and Manchester United for the acquisition of a rising French center-back prospect. This new target reflects PSG's ongoing strategy to reinforce their defensive line while also competing against other top European clubs in the transfer market.
This season, PSG's center-back lineup has faced challenges due to injuries, with Presnel Kimpembe's extended absence and Milan Skriniar's recurring health issues and inconsistent performances. As a result, PSG is looking to strengthen their defense.
PSG is interested in RB Leipzig's Castello Lukeba, a 21-year-old French defender. However, Manchester United and Chelsea are also reportedly pursuing Lukeba. Despite RB Leipzig's €70 million release clause not taking effect until 2025, they are reluctant to let him leave in this summer transfer window. It's unclear whether this will deter the interest from Chelsea and Manchester United.
