Liverpool Eyeing €80m Sensation with an Unconventional Release Clause

by ·

Liverpool are being linked with another RB Leipzig player just months after signing Dominik Szoboszlai from the Bundesliga club. Jurgen Klopp’s new look Liverpool have made a strong start to the season after being boosted by the arrival of several new signings including Szoboszlai. The Reds signed two other players from German football this summer – Wataru Endo from Stuttgart and Ryan Gravenberch from Bayern Munich, while Alexis Mac Allister also arrived from Brighton. Liverpool may look to raid the Bundesliga for another young talent, if new reports are to be believed. Bild journalist Christian Falk claims Liverpool are keeping tabs on RB Leipzig forward Lois Openda, who has already scored five goals and provided two assists in 10 games for his new club after joining from Lens in the summer. Leipzig signed Openda in a deal worth an initial €43m (£37m) after being convinced by his ‘stunning’ debut season in Ligue 1, in which he scored 21 goals in 38 games. The Belgian is now being linked with a move to the Premier League, with Arsenal and Manchester United also reportedly interested in the 23-year-old. “Leipzig are a little relaxed at the moment, as next summer there’s no active release clause for Lois Openda,” wrote Falk, in Fabrizio Romano’s Daily Briefing. “It begins in 2025 and I heard it’s a bit higher than the €80m [£69m] that has been reported elsewhere. “I’m sure that clubs like Liverpool will be keeping an eye on him. You’ve already seen with Dominik Szoboszlai that they’ve had a mostly positive experience with RB Leipzig players. “It’s also worth noting the similarity in style between the two clubs, which is obviously of benefit to Liverpool.” Speaking to BILD ahead of the new season, Openda said he had aspirations of becoming as good as Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane. “Harry Kane is one of the best players in the world. He’s better than me. But that’s what drives me: I want to be at his level one day,” he said. “I can do a lot more and that’s what I’m working on every day to get the best out of myself.”

Liverpool’s continued scouting in the Bundesliga has raised eyebrows, with the Reds reportedly eyeing RB Leipzig’s Lois Openda, a promising forward. This interest comes hot on the heels of their acquisition of Dominik Szoboszlai from the same club earlier this year.

Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool, featuring several new additions, has enjoyed a stellar start to the season. Among the new faces are Wataru Endo from Stuttgart, Ryan Gravenberch from Bayern Munich, and Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton, in addition to Szoboszlai.

The latest name on Liverpool’s radar is Lois Openda, a young talent who has made an immediate impact at RB Leipzig. Openda has already netted five goals and contributed two assists in his first 10 appearances for the club after transferring from Lens over the summer.

RB Leipzig secured Openda’s services in a deal initially valued at €43 million (£37 million), encouraged by his remarkable debut season in Ligue 1, where he bagged an impressive 21 goals in 38 games.

Now, the 23-year-old Belgian is on the radar of Premier League giants, with both Arsenal and Manchester United showing interest in his services.

Bild journalist Christian Falk has shed light on Openda’s situation, revealing that RB Leipzig is relatively comfortable since there is no active release clause for Openda until 2025. Reports that the clause is set at €80 million (£69 million) have been disputed, with Falk suggesting that it may be even higher. Liverpool, who previously enjoyed a positive experience with Szoboszlai, is likely to keep a close watch on this emerging talent.

It’s noteworthy that Openda’s style of play aligns well with Liverpool’s preferences, reflecting a potential synergy between the player and the club.

Openda himself is aiming high and drawing inspiration from the likes of Harry Kane. In an interview ahead of the new season, he expressed his aspiration to reach the same level as the Bayern Munich striker, emphasizing his dedication to improving his skills daily.

As Liverpool continues to expand its roster with talents from the Bundesliga, the football world awaits with bated breath to see if Lois Openda might be the next gem to grace the Anfield turf.
