Those a bit older remember the 80’s action fantasy “The Highlander” in which immortal swordsmen rush to cut off each other’s heads with constant reminders that “there can only be one” left, and the younger Leipzig fans (the older ones don’t even exist, do they?) are now waiting to see which of the two defenders they have a dilemma with will make the cut. Not by the head, but by the contract.Leipzig went in search of a sweeper after selling Josko Gvardiol to Manchester City for 90,000,000 euros, but apparently rushed and agreed on two. The first is Castello Lukeba from Lyon Olympique, the second is Feyenoord’s Lutsharel Geertruida.##NAJAVA_MECA_7414884##Sporting director Max Eberl and his closest collaborators Rouven Schroder and Felix Kruger now have to choose, because the club will not give them money for both players. And the meticulous Germans have already did their math..Both will cost about the same. The fixed part of the compensation is about 30,000,000 euros, plus some additional bonuses. The 20-year-old Lukeba was rumored to not go below 34,000,000. According to information from Germany, he is, at least at the moment, a slight favorite especially since Lyon are interested in Ilaix Moriba, so that trade could bring Lukeba’s price down.RBLeipzig en la recta final para completar los fichajes de Castello Lukeba y Lutsharel Geertruida.Términos personales acordados y tratos por finalizar entre clubes.Peero, RBL solo puede fichar a uno por motivos financieros. Lukeba o Geertruida, solo puede llegar uno pic.twitter.com/oGE8ZUFn5h— Mando Sanabria Roa (@RB_Delarge) August 6, 2023 Geertruida is three years older, more mature, more complete, but the question is whether he would be able to ensure sales like Lukeba in how many years on the market. Leipzig always think about profit.Whoever comes will probably jump into the starting line-up soon, because Marco Rose’s pool of left-footed stoppers consists of only 198-centimeter tall El Chadaille Bitshiabu, until recently a member of Paris Saint-Germain player, but he is only 18 years old and will be introduced slowly into the system.Now it’s time to choose a starter: Lukeba or Geertruida? There can be only one.
