RB Leipzig star ready to say yes to Barcelona in January
RB Leipzig star Castello Lukeba would be ready to give the green light to a move to Spain with Barcelona as soon as the January transfer window.
That's according to Diario Sport , who have this week provided an insight into the situation.

Stopper Lukeba was for his part heavily linked with a potential move to Catalunya's capital throughout the summer. As the Camp Nou brass scoured the market for reinforcements at the heart of defence, the 23-year-old is understood to have been earmarked as a leading target.
In the end, a swoop for Lukeba was not forthcoming, as Deco and co. stuck with the central-defensive options currently at the disposal of Hansi Flick.
As alluded to above, though, the Frenchman himself appears to remain very much keen on a Blaugrana switch. As per a report from Sport:
'The Leipzig centre-back would be willing to give the okay to Barça if the Blaugrana club go for him in this January market or next June.'

A Barcelona swoop for fresh blood at centre-back this winter has not been ruled out, with the so often-injured Andreas Christensen having already been condemned to a fresh spell on the sidelines.
