Openda decision puts Juventus, Napoli and Milan on full alert | OneFootball

Juventus, Milan and Napoli are on alert after reports Lois Openda is eager to leave RB Leipzig for a new challenge, with a €60m price-tag.

All three teams are on the look-out for new strikers this summer to reinforce their squads.

They could be ready to leap on for Openda now after Belgian transfer pundit Sacha Tavolieri revealed this evening that the 25-year-old is ready to move on.

He scored 13 goals with 11 assists in 45 competitive appearances for RB Leipzig this season and his contract runs to June 2028.

Openda no stranger to Serie A interest

Milan had already been heavily linked before he made the €40m transfer from Lens to RB Leipzig in the summer of 2023.

Juventus also showed previous interest and would see the Belgium international as a valid alternative to first choices like Victor Osimhen.

As for Napoli, they are seeking an attacking figure who can play on the left wing, which would make Openda a much cheaper option than Alejandro Garnacho of Manchester United.

A significant problem would be the €60m that his club is asking for to make a sale, but if the player is eager to leave and try a new challenge, then he could help lower that figure.
