Juventus seeks to offload Lois Openda with RC Lens interest

Summary

Juventus is working to transfer Lois Openda, who they acquired from RB Leipzig but struggled significantly, scoring only two goals in 34 matches. His former club RC Lens has expressed interest in re-signing him, but Juventus must cover a substantial portion of his salary for the loan deal to be feasible. Openda had a successful stint with Lens in the 2022-23 season, netting 21 goals, which contributed to his move to Leipzig. Meanwhile, RC Lens has qualified for the Champions League, offering him a chance for regular top-level play.
