- يوفنتوس to sign Lois Openda
- Deal includes an obligation to buy
- Leipzig have inserted resale clause
After failing to land Kolo Muani, the Italian club are in talks to sign Openda from Liepzig and have reportedly reached an agreement worth over €50 million (£43m/$58m), according to سكاي سبورتس. The deal will be paid in stages with the initial loan fee to be up to €4m and an obligation to buy inserted in the contract.
Juve failed to sign Kolo Muani from باريس سان جيرمان as the two clubs couldn’t agree on the transfer terms. Juve insisted of linking the obligation to their تأهل دوري أبطال أوروبا while PSG were more inclined towards liking it to a more assured clause. The الدوري الإيطالي side’s deal for Openda also includes an obligation to buy set at €47m (£41m/$55m) that will be triggered should they finish in the top half of the league table. Leipzig has also inserted a re-sell clause in the contract.
ال الدوري الألماني club are also scouting the market for a replacement for Openda. Leipzig have identified نادي سبورتينغ لشبونة‘s Conrad Harder and have reached an agreement that will reportedly cost Leipzig around €20m (£17m/$23m). The player, who was earlier in talks with ميلان, will soon land in ألمانيا for his medical.
With Juve’s offer off the table, Kolo Muani will likely be spending the first half of the season in Paris. بايرن ميونيخ have also showed interest in signing the French forward but the Parisians are adamant of inserting obligation to buy clause on their terms.
