Red Bull Leipzig were left without two biggest attacking factors this summer – Christopher Nkunku went to Chelsea (€60,000,000) and Dominik Szoboszlai to Liverpool (€70,000,000) – which means that the Bulls will have to hire at least one player in the current transfer window. which guarantees goals. It was estimated that Lens’ forward Lois Openda could be the one, given that he scored 21 goals in 38 Ligue 1 matches this past season, and had four assists.For a while now, the Germans have been launching attacks on the French to release the 23-year-old Belgian just a year after bringing him from Brugge for 12,000,000. However, they could not achieve their goal – everything was agreed with the player, he agreed to 3,000,000 euros per year until 2028, but the leaders of Lens were not satisfied with the compensation offered so far.🚨 RB Leipzig have just made a fourth offer of €43m + add ons for Lois Openda. 💰An agreement with RC Lens is expected this week.(Source: @Santi_J_FM) pic.twitter.com/MZjdW38N1u— Transfer News Live (@DeadlineDayLive) July 5, 2023 It started at the beginning of June with 27,000,000 fixed plus 5,000,000 euros through bonuses, and reached the fourth offer which, according to news from Germany, amounts to 43,000,000 euros immediately and additional bonuses. It has not been specified how much they would amount to, but information has been circulating from before that the vice-champion of France does not want to sell Openda for less than 50,000,000, so it is assumed that the subsequent payment, if the Belgian achieves the required standards, would reach that figure, maybe a little over.##NAJAVA_MECA_7355300##Considering that the negotiations have been quite long, the German Sky Sport writes that the representatives of Leipzig traveled to France in order to present personally to the leaders of Lens the new conditions for the purchase of the 23-year-old attacker. It is expected that they will be accepted, since it is already written that Lens have prepared a replacement for Openda in the form of the Greek Vangelis Pavlidis from AZ Alkmaar.By the way, Openda was also interesting to Milan at the beginning of the summer, but the Rossoneri quickly gave up because of the high price.
