RB Leipzig central defender Castello Lukeba is pushing for a move to Barcelona. According to Diario Sport, the 23-year-old has recently changed his agent, opting to work with the same representative who manages Barcelona defender Jules Koundé.

Reports indicate that this new agent met with Barcelona's sporting director, Deco, over a week ago. The Catalan club is fully aware of the Frenchman's desire to join their ranks and has included him in their transfer shortlist.

However, Barcelona's management has yet to make a final decision regarding the potential signing. Lukeba has made 11 appearances across all competitions this season for his German club, remaining without a goal contribution so far.
