Liverpool and Chelsea, are ready to join the battle for RB Leipzig star Lois Openda
According to Fichajes, several European greats have expressed an interest in Lois Openda, RB Leipzig’s youthful forward, including Liverpool and Chelsea.
The teams are looking to reinforce their forwards and have expressed a serious interest in the player. He is 23 years old and is being considered as a possible team reinforcement.
Despite this interest, it appears that both clubs’ quick moves for Openda will not materialize in the upcoming January market. Negotiations could be tough because RB Leipzig is anticipated to take a firm stance on their star player.
Openda, a rising star
The star is giving out constant, remarkable performances, with outstanding stats of 23 goals and four assists in 38 appearances. Liverpool and Chelsea are both ready to offer the star a pathway to the Premier League.
It is unclear at this time whether Leipzig would welcome any bids for their player, but if a sufficient offer comes in and the player signals a desire to attempt a new experience, he will most likely be sold to the highest bidder.
It seems that Liverpool are getting themselves ready for post-Salah time. The star attacker’s constant outstanding performances have caught the eyes of Saudi club Al-Ittihad, making him an irresistible offer.
Jurgen Klopp has already indicated that he would leave the club at the end of the current season; thus, any player pursuits could be attributed to a search for a new manager.
Chelsea still employs Mauricio Pochettino, but given how the season has unfolded for the Blues manager, he, too, may be leaving his position in the summer.

The Leipzig star has been impressive and could be ready for the English game in a few seasons. However, unless new management is hired, this is simply a rumor that will spread over the following few months. The addition of the star attacker would certainly be beneficial for any squad he would join.
