Leipzig squad reorganization underway ahead of Torino match

In a significant move, Italian giants Juventus Turin and German club RB Leipzig have agreed on a loan deal with an option to buy for striker Loïc Openda. The Belgian international, who joined RB Leipzig from RC Lens for a €40 million transfer fee two years ago, is currently on his way to Italy.

Openda's stay at RB Leipzig saw a dip in form after his impressive debut season where he scored 28 goals. Last season, he managed only 13 goals in competitive matches. Despite this, his strong debut season and the hefty transfer fee highlight his potential.

Meanwhile, RB Leipzig is set to welcome Danish striker Conrad Harder, who transferred from Sporting Lisbon just before the transfer deadline last season. Harder, who scored 13 goals last year, is scheduled to fly to Germany today to complete his move.

Harder's arrival comes as Lutsharel Geertruida, who joined RB Leipzig last summer, is close to an agreement with AFC Sunderland. Geertruida failed to establish himself on the right-wing back position, and his departure could pave the way for Harder to secure a regular spot.

Eljif Elmas, another player who joined RB Leipzig last summer, is on the verge of returning to SSC Napoli. The exact details of the deal are yet to be disclosed. No information about a Kolo Muani deal was provided in the text.

As the transfer news regarding Loïc Openda breaks, it's clear that both clubs are making strategic moves to strengthen their squads. Openda's contract with RB Leipzig runs until June 30, 2028, while Eljif Elmas' contract runs until June 30, 2029.

The football world eagerly awaits to see how these transfers will impact the performance of both clubs in the upcoming seasons.
