Overview
- Juventus registered Openda’s contract with Serie A and finalized his medical before the transfer deadline.
- Coverage differs on the move’s terms, with one report citing a fee of around €40 million and another describing an initial loan with an option to buy.
- In his first club interview, Openda said he “didn’t sleep” the night before joining and that he “can’t wait” to make his debut.
- Tactical analysis notes he is a center-forward who could start alongside or instead of Jonathan David within Igor Tudor’s usual 3-4-2-1 shape.
- Fellow deadline-day arrival Edon Zhegrova bolsters the attacking midfield options, and Openda could feature as soon as the Inter match on September 13.
