According to a report in the “Leipziger Volkszeitung”, Belgian Lois Openda is moving to cup winners RB Leipzig.
The Bundesliga club agreed on a transfer with the 23-year-old striker and his club RC Lens, it said on Wednesday evening. According to RB, the signing of the top scorer costs significantly more than 30 million euros.
Openda was said to have been on the wish list of the people of Leipzig for a long time, who see the Belgian as a possible successor to Christopher Nkunku. He has scored 21 goals in 38 games for French top flight club Lens this season.
In addition to Nkunku, RB recently had to let Konrad Laimer (free transfer to FC Bayern Munich) and Dominik Szoboszlai (70 / Liverpool FC) go. In addition, defender Josko Gvardiol wants to switch to Champions League winners Manchester City. According to reports, Leipzig has called for a fee of 100 million euros plus bonuses.
