In an interview given to Téléfoot, French central defender Castello Lukeba, who recently became captain of the Espoirs, explained his departure from Olympique Lyonnais for RB Leipzig this summer, in exchange for a check for €30 million. He quickly became an indisputable starter in the central hinge of the residents of the Red Bull Arena (15 TCC matches, 13 in the starting eleven).
“This is all new to me. Leaving France, leaving my city, obviously I have to get used to another culture. To continue growing, we had to take a step forward and look elsewhere. And I am very grateful to have tasted the Lyon training”declared the new French international, who appeared in A for the first time during the Blues’ friendly victory against Scotland in mid-October (4-1).
