Lyon and Coventry City ‘open talks’ to sign Juventus’ Lois Openda | OneFootball

Olympique Lyonnais are in talks to sign Juventus forward Lois Openda, with Coventry City also pursuing a loan move, according to Foot Mercato.

The Belgium international, 26, joined Juventus permanently from RB Leipzig for a little over €40m. He scored only two goals in 34 games last season and is not expected to remain in Turin.

RC Lens have pushed to bring him back to the Stade Bollaert, but his wage is a major obstacle. If a loan is agreed, Juventus would need to cover part of his salary.

Lyon have greater flexibility to fit him into their wage structure. Both Lens and OL can offer UEFA Champions League football next season.

Coventry cannot provide European competition, but they can offer Premier League football.
