Lois Openda is [expected to leave Juventus this summer](https://talkjuve.com/2026/07/13/five-clubs-including-leeds-all-want-juventus-star-on-loan/), and the Old Lady is prepared to allow the attacker to depart on loan if the right opportunity arrives.
Juventus signed Openda around a year ago and believed they were bringing in a top player, but his first season at the club was disappointing. The Bianconeri now want to limit their losses and find a solution that allows him to continue his career elsewhere.
Juventus seeks a solution for Openda
------------------------------------
It has become clear that Openda does not fit into Luciano Spalletti’s system, and Juventus are willing to open the door for his departure. The club are prepared to consider a loan move as they look to manage his future.
Lens would be interested in bringing the forward back to their squad this summer as they prepare for a European campaign. Openda previously played for the Ligue 1 side before moving to RB Leipzig, and he enjoyed some of the best moments of his career during his time there.
A return to Lens could provide Openda with an opportunity to rediscover the form that made him highly regarded before his move to Juventus. The French club know his qualities and believes he could become an important addition to their attacking options.
Wage issue threatens possible return
------------------------------------
Juventus are open to allowing Openda to join Lens on loan, but there is one major obstacle that could prevent the agreement from being completed.
As reported by [Tuttomercatoweb](https://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/serie-a/juventus-francia-lens-prova-riportare-openda-francia-nodo-ingaggio-2253250), the attacker’s wages at the Allianz Stadium are higher than what Lens can currently afford. The French club are unable to cover his entire salary, creating a financial problem that must be resolved before a deal can happen.
If Juventus are willing to pay part of Openda’s wages during the loan spell, the move could still be completed. The Bianconeri are keen to find a solution and Lens remain interested, but both clubs will need to reach an agreement over the financial details.
For now, Openda’s future remains uncertain, with his departure from Juventus expected but dependent on whether the wage situation can be resolved.
