The striker joins the Old Lady on an initial loan deal at the end of the 2025 summer transfer window. RB Leipzig inserted a conditional obligation to buy and it would be triggered if Juve finished in the top ten.

today's gazzetta dello sport Juve's new CEO Giovanni Carnevalli reportedly has a big job ahead of him with Openda. There has been no change in the club's stance on Belgium since his arrival.
They are eager to move on from him, which is what former CEO Damien Comolli also wanted.
To reduce the losses on Openda, Carnevalli is happy to offer a loan deal. The situation has now attracted the attention of Nottingham Forest, with Coventry City also in the picture. France's interest has increased, with Monaco monitoring the situation.
All these clubs are only interested in loan deals at the moment. Juve would take it but Carnevalli is patient and optimistic about the scenario.
He is still hoping that better offers will come that would be more suitable for Juve from a financial point of view.
England's move will be risky
Openda has never played in the Premier League before, having starred in the Bundesliga and in France. This helped him rise to prominence before his decline at Juve.
That's why they should consider returning to those leagues. Even if Nottingham Forest and Coventry could lure him, it is a gamble for everyone involved.
