Leipzig to secure Openda replacement

Sporting Lisbon striker Conrad Harder is set to complete a move to RB Leipzig following the departure of Lois Openda.

As reported by Fabrizio Romano, Danish striker Conrad Harder is set to complete a move to RB Leipzig, with a deal in place for €26 million. 

Following the departure of Benjamin Sesko earlier this summer, Belgian forward Lois Openda has since made the trip to Turin to sign for Juventus, leaving Leipzig without a recognised forward. 

The Danish forward has netted once for Sporting across their opening four matches this term, and is now in Leipzig to complete his move to the Bundesliga.
