As a result of the summer departures of players like Dominik Szoboszlai and Josko Gvardiol, RB Leipzig is hesitant to part ways with striker Lois Openda. Therefore, it might be challenging for groups like Liverpool, Manchester United, and Chelsea to complete the transfer of Openda.
In his article, Kalvin Phillips highlights how far Bielsa’s playing style has advanced.
Openda recently transferred from Lens to Leipzig, so it’s unknown if he’d be willing to do so anytime soon, but it looks that some of the Premier League’s top teams are interested in signing him.
Liverpool, Manchester United, and Chelsea are reportedly linked, according to Football Insider, although the story adds that Leipzig will probably not contemplate letting the Belgian attacker leave this January.
But Openda is a player to watch going forward since he’s showing a lot of promise in the Bundesliga and carrying on from his strong Ligue 1 campaign last year.

Liverpool may think he is a more reliable finisher than Darwin Nunez given that Nunez has been erratic this season and that both United and Chelsea have struggled up front.
Marcus Rashford has had a tremendous amount of difficulty at Old Trafford, while Nicolas Jackson appears to have been thrown into the deep end at Stamford Bridge. Undoubtedly, a more seasoned player is required.
