The center-back has been playing in Germany since last year. Now, a new challenge awaits.

The 1.92-meter tall center-back played for WAC in the ADMIRAL Bundesliga from 2020 to 2022.
FC General Manager Thomas Kessler says: "We are very pleased that we were able to convince Luka of our path at 1. FC Köln. In recent years, he has gained valuable experience at various clubs and brings exactly the profile we were looking for for this position."
