Lukeba, the sentence that makes OL tremble in the transfer window

Unsurprisingly, Castello Lukeba and Rayan Cherki will be OL’s two most courted players during this summer transfer window.

Under contract with Olympique Lyonnais until June 2025, Castello Lukeba will obviously be very courted during this summer transfer window. The French international hopeful is not one of the undesirables whom Laurent Blanc wants to part with, quite the contrary. The OL coach wants to rely on Lukeba in the same way as on Barcola or even Cherki next season.

But it is now John Textor who is in charge and for the time being, everyone does not know what the strategy of the American businessman will be on the transfer market. The vagueness reigns among the observers of Olympique Lyonnais… but also among the players. In an interview with Progrès, the defender who will play the Euro with the France U23 team this summer admitted that he did not know what his future would hold and that anything was possible.

“I don’t know what’s going on internally, after the Euros we’ll see”

In any case, no decision will be made before the Euro disputed with the Bleuets. “Frankly, I don’t know what’s going on internally, who’s in charge, there’s a lot of change, so I let my reps handle that. After the Euro, we will see” said Castello Lukeba, who also praised the work of Laurent Blanc. The OL coach, criticized at the start of the season, obtained good results after the break and has the full confidence of “Castello Jr”, as it is written on his jersey.

“He’s a tough but fair person. We do a lot of video with him, we can see our mistakes, but also what we do well. I’m lucky to also work with Claudio Caçapa, a former great OL defender, with them by my side, I can become a better defender by being more aggressive, more dominant in the duel. I also have to know better when I have to play simple, or when I can carry the ball. estimated Castello Lukeba, who would probably not be opposed to doing one more season with Laurent Blanc in Lyon. But no one knows how John Textor will react if a bid of €30m or more hits his desk for the 20-year-old defender.
