The German football club Openda has received an offer from the Bundesliga for Lens, with the price tag set at 50 million euros.
Lens is one of the most successful clubs in France's Ligue 1, having won the league title three times and reaching the final twice more. The club has also produced several high-profile players over the years, including Thierry Henry, who was captain of the French national team and played for Arsenal and Barcelona among others.
Openda is a relatively new club that was founded in 2018. The club has struggled to establish itself in the world of European football, but they have made some progress in recent seasons, finishing second in their group in the UEFA Europa League last season.
The offer from the Bundesliga represents a significant step up for Openda, who will be hoping to take advantage of the opportunity to sign a top player. The club has already made some moves this summer, signing former Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Juan Bernat and defender Nicolas De Colo, as well as acquiring Brazilian winger Gustavo Poyet from Internacional.
With the addition of such high-profile players, Openda could potentially challenge for promotion back to the top flight of European football in the coming seasons. However, it remains to be seen whether the club can make the most of this opportunity and secure their place in Europe's elite competition.
