‘Done deal’ – Juventus secure new striker after failing to bring back Kolo Muani

Juventus have reportedly struck an agreement with RB Leipzig for the transfer of Belgian striker Lois Openda.

The Bianconeri spent their entire summer chasing Randal Kolo Muani who has been keen to rejoin them following his ‘very happy’ loan spell between January and June, and thus refused all other destinations.

And yet, Juve failed to reach an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain over the formula and figures, so the deal has seemingly collapsed.

After giving up on Kolo Muani, Juventus turned their attention to Openda, a profile that has been on their shortlist for weeks.

As reported on Sunday, the Bianconeri opened talks with Leipzig for the 25-year-old, who doesn’t appear to be a key part of the German club’s plans.

Unlike the Kolo Muani talks, Juventus were able to find a breakthrough in their negotiations with the Bundesliga side rather quickly.
