Why Openda could be back at Juventus even if he play well in Lyon

Lois Openda is currently on loan at Lyon, with Juventus hoping he can rekindle his peak performance to secure a permanent transfer away from Turin. Last season in Juventus, Openda failed to meet expectations, failing to impress Luciano Spalletti and eventually being sidelined. At Lyon, Openda has been a starter and consistently solid, which has raised hopes that the club might make his move permanent at the end of the season.

However, Lyon faces financial constraints, with Tuttomercatoweb reporting that they are dealing with serious fiscal problems. These limitations could prevent them from covering Openda's wages and transfer fee, potentially forcing them to seek another loan spell for the attacker. Another possibility is that Lyon could retain Openda for the remainder of the season, but this would not suit Juventus, who are eager to sell him permanently once the campaign concludes.

Openda is keen on finding a permanent solution, as it would offer him clarity about his future following a disappointing stint at Juventus. If Lyon cannot finalize a permanent transfer due to financial constraints, Openda might have to explore other avenues. However, Juventus is unlikely to entertain another temporary loan arrangement, implying that Openda’s ongoing strong performances could be pivotal in attracting a club willing to sign him permanently.
