After the German media pushed ahead with the Loïs Openda personality on Wednesday, which is said to have caused displeasure on the part of RC Lens, the transfer hiccup with RB Leipzig seems to have ended a day later. As the “L’Equipe“ reported, the French runners-up finally agreed on a change with the Saxons. The “Red Bulls” therefore meet the demands of Lens.
A verbal agreement was reached in another round of talks on Thursday after the player side is said to have mediated between the clubs. The RC Lens, who called a total of 50 million euros, is said to receive a base fee of 43 million euros. The sum should be able to increase relatively safely to 46 million euros, and a further 6 million euros in bonuses have also been agreed. This makes Openda the most expensive entry for Leipzig and the most expensive exit for the French.

In addition, a friendly match in Lens and a resale participation in the event of a transfer win with RB had been agreed. Openda, who scored 21 goals in 42 games for RC Lens last season, is due to complete his medical in Germany on Friday before signing a five-year contract.
