Leeds United: Randal Kolo Muani has key to unlock Lois Openda move to Elland Road

Leeds United will surely hope Randal Kolo Muani helps facilitate their move for Juventus striker Lois Openda in the upcoming transfer window.

The Belgium international has struggled at the Allianz Stadium but could kickstart his career at the Whites if they can get a deal over the line in the coming weeks.

As for the France international, he had an underwhelming loan spell at Tottenham Hotspur in the 2025-26 campaign, with his future at Paris Saint-Germain uncertain.

Kolo Muani is desperate to return to Juventus after a decent spell in Italy, which could possibly open the doors for Openda's arrival at Elland Road in the summer.

The West Yorkshire outfit will surely be looking to add depth to their squad after securing Premier League safety, and the former RB Leipzig forward's versatility makes him an interesting option.

Leeds United to have Lois Openda hope

Juventus want to back Luciano Spalletti with the addition of Kolo Muani as they continue to work on bolstering their squad for next season.

According to Corriere dello Sport on 7 June, PSG want around £35million for the 27-year-old Frenchman and it remains to be seen whether the Serie A side can reach an agreement with them.

Sources told Football Insider in May that Leeds were favourites to sign Openda in the summer, with a loan-to-buy agreement the preferred option.

The Bianconeri spent over £35m to sign the 26-year-old attacker, but he has failed to live up to expectations, with one league goal in 24 appearances.

Daniel Farke has multiple transfer priorities at Elland Road

Leeds could certainly do with more bodies up front, as the futures of Joel Piroe and Joe Gelhardt remain uncertain.

While Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Lukas Nmecha have been decent for the Whites, Daniel Farke has made his ambitions clear at Elland Road.

Quality additions should be targeted at the West Yorkshire outfit, and not just in the attack, with the defence arguably needing reinforcements, considering Pascal Struijk is set to enter the final year of his contract.

The German manager's switch to playing three centre-backs also clearly necessitates greater attention to the Peacocks' options at the back for next season.
