England's "Leeds United" club has emerged as a major contender to transfer RB Leipzig striker Loïs Openda, who is currently on loan at Juventus, in the upcoming summer transfer window.
İdman.Biz reports this with reference to TEAMtalk.
The 26-year-old Belgian striker, remembered for his disappointing move from RB Leipzig to the Old Lady this season, is ready to leave the club to increase his regular playing time. Openda failed to get along with coach Luciano Spalletti in Italy and scored only two goals in 34 matches. As a result, Juventus are actively exploring options to sell or loan the player.
Leeds management is ready to offer the striker a high salary and is considering a loan with a mandatory purchase clause. Openda himself has already agreed to move to England; he is interested in the prospect of playing regularly in the first team.
