Reports in Italy confirm that Juventus have triggered their obligation to buy for attacker Lois Openda, despite the fact that the Belgian has been left as an unused substitute for the last five rounds of Serie A fixtures.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How much will Juventus have to pay after triggering Openda obligation to buy?<\/h2>\n

Openda joined Juventus on loan with a conditional obligation to buy from RB Leipzig during the 2025 summer transfer window. At the time of Openda\u2019s arrival back in early September, Juventus confirmed that they paid a loan fee of \u20ac3.3m with bonuses of up to \u20ac800,000 to bring Openda in for the 2025-26 season, and that\u00a0 the obligation to buy is set at \u20ac40.6m with bonuses of up to \u20ac1.7m.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Juventus are now obliged to pay the \u20ac40.6m fee to RB Leipzig, which is payable in four instalments, after mathematically confirming a 10th place finish in Serie A.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Juve confirmed their top 10 finish with Saturday\u2019s important 1-0 victory away against Atalanta.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This means that the Bianconeri are now 18 points clear of the 11th-placed Sassuolo with six games to go. In the extremely unlikely event that Juventus lose all of their remaining fixtures and Sassuolo win all of theirs, they will finish level on 60 points, but Juventus would still claim a higher spot due to their head-to-head record against the Neroverdi.<\/span><\/p>\n

With the obligation to buy now triggered, Openda will be entitled to a four-year contract at the Allianz Stadium, running until the summer of 2030.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the obligation to buy having been triggered, Openda is still massively out of favour in Turin, having been left on the bench for Juve\u2019s last five Serie A fixtures. He only played for one minute off the substitutes\u2019 bench in his most recent league appearance and has not started for the Old Lady in the league since late December.<\/p>\n

It is expected that Juventus will still look to move Openda on if possible during the next summer transfer window.<\/p>\n
