Author of an excellent season with RC Lens, Lois Openda logically caught the eye of several European teams. RB Leipzig is trying to bend the Lensois who are greedy to let their nugget go.
With the departure of Christopher Nkunku, RB Leipzig must find a new striker. The German club has lost its best player but now has the means to invest in the transfer market. Lois Openda is clearly the most concrete way to take over from the Frenchman. Nevertheless, RC Lens does not want to let go of its Belgian striker against less than 50 million euros. Openda has already agreed to join Leipzig, all that is missing is the approval of the Blood and Gold for this transfer to be finalized. For Walid Acherchour, Lens is making the negotiations last too long and could bite their fingers while Leipzig offers a huge offer to afford the services of the third top scorer in Ligue 1 for the 2022/2023 financial year (21 goals scored ).

“The soap opera is starting to last. We’ve been talking about it since mid-June. Here I find that it starts to last. He has a lot of room for improvement. 21 years old, Belgian striker, 21 goals in Ligue 1. It should not be given for any European club. Now be careful, I see offers of 40, 45, 50 million euros. We will have to accept these offers. It’s a very good deal for a club which must continue to structure itself, to move on from level to level. With this money, they are able to replace it. Beware of RC Lens not to play with fire on the one-upmanship with Leipzig because 45, 50 million is already huge” declared the columnist in the program After Foot on RMC Sport who believes that Lens must stop being too greedy and must let themselves be stripped because this probable sale of Lois Openda will make it possible to improve other sectors of the game and even, to find a replacement for the Belgian. Lens has the cards in hand, even if the imminent departure of Seko Fofana to Saudi Arabia, in addition to that of Openda, legitimately worries the supporters.
