Lukas Klostermann, born on 6 March 1996 in Germany, is a proficient defender currently donning the number 16 jersey for RB Leipzig. Standing at 6ft 2in (1.89m) and tipping the scales at 13st (83kg), Klostermann is an imposing figure on the pitch.
Having started his professional footballing journey in July 2013 with Bochum in the Bundesliga, his inaugural season saw him make a modest nine appearances in league matches. However, Klostermann's potential didn't go unnoticed, and a year later in August 2014, he swapped Bochum for RB Leipzig, again in Germany's top-tier Bundesliga, the specifics of the transfer deal remaining undisclosed to date.
The versatile defender started to truly make his mark during his time at RB Leipzig. The 2014-2015 season saw him make 13 first team appearances with a solitary goal to his name. The following 2015-2016 season saw Klostermann become more of a familiar face in RB Leipzig's defensive line with 30 appearances and another goal to his tally. The 2016-2017 season was a bit of a blip in Klostermann's otherwise progressive career, managing only a single first team display. However, he bounced back commendably in the subsequent seasons, accumulating 162 first team appearances and scoring 12 goals during his tenure from 2017-2025.
Beyond domestic league appearances, Klostermann has also left an indelible mark on the international scene. His showings in the 2023-2024 Champions League iteration, comprising three starts and as many substitute appearances attest to his adaptability and commitment the sport.
While the trail of Lukas Klostermann has never led to Celtic Park, his performances and career trajectory offer an intriguing study of a diligent professional who has devoted his footballing career to rigorous growth and development.
