John Textor initially refused to let his best young players leave, but the owner of Olympique Lyonnais has finally agreed to let Castello Lukeba go to RB Leipzig. The defender will not be part of the OL squad that will travel to Strasbourg this weekend.
Lukeba’s Lyon career will likely come to an end within the next 48 hours, as German media confirmed on Wednesday evening that an imminent agreement has been reached between Olympique Lyonnais and RB Leipzig for the transfer of Castello Lukeba. This information was quickly confirmed by L’Equipe, which specifies that the U21 international defender met with his boss on Tuesday and reiterated his desire to sign with the German club, which is used to playing in the Champions League every season. Faced with Lukeba’s insistence, who has never hidden his determination for several weeks, John Textor finally considered it unnecessary to insist and prevent a determined player from leaving OL.

The American owner of Olympique Lyonnais has therefore given the green light to Vincent Ponsot and Santigao Cucci to negotiate with Leipzig. To complete this transfer, the German sports press mentions a price of 35 million euros, while the 20-year-old defender will commit to the next five seasons with Leipzig. In order to take no risks, Laurent Blanc should not rely on his defender for Sunday evening’s match at the Meinau against Strasbourg. Considered as the Bundesliga club’s plan, Lukeba was in competition with Lutsharel Geertruida, the Feyenoord defender. But in the last few hours, this possibility collapsed, leaving the path clear for the young French footballer to see his dream come true.
