As the new season begins next weekend, OL are in serious danger of losing one of their most promising assets.
He wants to leave. After two successful years among the pros of his training club, Castello Lukeba has decided to leave the nest. From the height of his 20 years, the young defender wants to see the country and discover the Bundesliga in the ranks of RB Leipzig. A club good at finding nuggets and making advances to him since the opening of the transfer window.
Twice already the Germans have knocked on the door of the Lyonnais with an envelope. The latest, bringing together no less than 32 million euros – bonuses included. Colliding for the moment with the silence of the Rhone management, Leipzig does not seem ready to stop there. A new proposal of around 35 million euros, plus a resale percentage of 15%, is said to be in preparation.
Much to White’s chagrin
Josko Gvardiol officially transferred to Manchester City, the RB is counting on Gone to strengthen its defense. However, the main interested party, who has already agreed contractually with the club with the red bull, would have openly asked John Textor to leave the capital of Gaul. The recruitment in Lyon of the Croatian and former Marseillais Duje Caleta-Car could facilitate this release now.
A blow for Laurent Blanc, who recently proclaimed his desire to keep the lifeblood of OL. Namely the arrows Rayan Cherki and Bradley Barcola, and precisely Castello Lukeba on the backs. Especially since the announced transfer is not necessarily the most flattering. ” Castello, I would mind if he left. I tell him to stay another year. (…) The players we have are very good, they have shown it over the last six months. But they are not yet ready to go to the top… There are intermediate clubs, and I say this with great respect, which have an interesting financial capacity, but which are not the biggest. »
