Whilst Lois Openda’s (26) loan move from RB Leipzig to Juventus will be made permanent for a fee north of €40m, the Belgian forward may not remain at the Serie A club beyond the summer, as per a report from Gianluca Di Marzio.
It was an underwhelming season in Turin for Openda, who in 37 games in all competitions, netted just twice. Since leaving RC Lens in 2023 for €40m, he has netted 41 goals in 93 games for RB Leipzig. At Lens, during the season in which Les Sang et Or finished just one point behind eventual champions Paris Saint-Germain, Openda scored 21 goals in 42 games.
Interest in the Belgium international has been growing. Di Marzio reported at the start of June that the former Lens man was attracting interest from AS Monaco, Nottingham Forest, and Eintracht Frankfurt.
Olympique Lyonnais, who are in desperate need of strengthening their forward line, have now joined the race, Di Marzio adds.
