Loïs Openda (26) of Juventus is reportedly considering a move to join Olympique Lyonnais this summer, according to Foot Mercato.
Openda has shown interest in the move, signaling positively to the club in the Rhône region. This transfer would allow him to return to Ligue 1, where he previously excelled with RC Lens. However, securing his return is challenging, and Olympique Lyonnais is also gearing up for a Champions League qualifying match against Sparta Prague in early August.
While the management at Les Gones are eager to pursue this opportunity, they face competition from Juventus, who appears more inclined to send the striker to the Premier League, where newly promoted Coventry City is reportedly interested in him.
The Bianconeri aim to relieve themselves of Openda’s substantial salary, as he is contracted with the club until 2030. Following a challenging season in which he scored only two goals in 34 appearances, it seems that the time has come for the Liège native to consider a fresh start.
