Juventus FC's option to buy Belgian forward Lois Openda has officially been activated after the team's recent victory over Atalanta secured their place in the top half of the Serie A table. The obligation to purchase Openda, who was initially brought in on a season-long loan, comes with a hefty price tag of €40.6 million, making it one of the club's significant financial commitments for the 2025-26 season. Despite this, Openda is not expected to remain at Juventus, as he has not featured in the last five matches under manager Luciano Spalletti. With only two goals in 33 appearances this season and a lack of playing time, the club is likely to seek a transfer to recoup some of the investment. Openda's decline in form is notable, especially compared to his previous season at RB Leipzig, where he scored 28 goals. As Juventus prepares for the summer transfer window, the future of Openda remains uncertain.
