Belgium-Morocco centre-forward Loïs Openda, currently on the books at RB Leipzig, is being linked with a summer switch to Bundesliga rivals Eintracht Frankfurt.
Data from transfer specialists Transfermarkt lists the 26-year-old, valued at €25.00m, as a potential target for Frankfurt, with the likelihood of a move currently rated at 21%. The speculation centres on his situation at Leipzig, where no contract expiry date is publicly recorded, prompting talk that his future could yet involve a free-agent scenario if no extension is agreed down the line.
Born in Liège on 16 February 2000 and standing at 1.77m, Openda is a right-footed centre-forward who represents Belgium at international level but also holds Moroccan nationality. He is regarded as an out‑and‑out attacking spearhead, listed primarily as an “Attack – Centre‑Forward”.
The reported interest from Frankfurt comes against the backdrop of Openda’s established reputation in Germany after his move to Leipzig from Lens, where his pace and direct running made him one of the most-watched forwards in Europe. His market value has been pegged at €25.00m on Transfermarkt, a figure that would make any permanent deal a significant outlay for a fellow Bundesliga club.
Leipzig are yet to publicly clarify his contract length, which fuels suggestions that future windows could see him run down his deal and explore free-agent options if no agreement is reached. For Frankfurt, who have frequently rebuilt their attack through opportunistic deals, Openda’s profile aligns with their strategy of targeting forwards with resale potential and European experience.
If the move does materialise, a switch from Leipzig to Frankfurt would offer Openda a fresh platform in the Bundesliga and could prove decisive in shaping the next phase of his career and his standing among Europe’s leading strikers.
