RB Leipzig’s insistence seems to have paid off. According to information from the magazine Kicker and of RMC, the third in the Bundesliga would be on the verge of recruiting Loïs Openda, who could pass his medical examination this week before signing a five-year contract. The German media specifies that the training coached by Marco Rose should pay some 40 million euros to RC Lens.
If the Sang et Or should realize a capital gain of some 28 million euros (note: the Belgian international had been bought from Bruges for 12 million in the summer of 2022), the 23-year-old player, author of 21 goals and 4 assists last season in L1, would become the most expensive player in the history of RB Leipzig ahead of Dominik Szoboszlai (36 million in 2021) and Naby Keita (30 million in 2017). The Belgian would thus replace Christopher Nkunku, who left for Chelsea this summer.
Despite the resistance of RC Lens, Loïs Openda had expressed her desire to join the German formation. “You must not forget that I am a player with ambition. I want to play at the highest level possible, he told L’Equipe on June 15. Leipzig can be a good club that will help me take a step. Every year, the team plays in the C1 and plays for the title in the league.” One month before the start of the new L1 season, RC Lens will have the difficult task of finding Loïs Openda’s successor.
