Orenburg midfielder Lukas Vera explained why he decided to get a Russian passport.
Note that the 26-year-old moved to Lanus’ RPL club before the start of last season. The midfielder’s contract runs until the summer of 2024 with the possibility of a season extension.
“First of all, it gives me hope to get into the national team. But there is a long road to get there. It is also a matter of taxes that I have to pay”, RB Sport quotes Vera.
For Orenburg, Lucas scored two goals and provided seven assists in 32 games.
