The German club Leverkusen has announced that they have reached an agreement with Openda, the club's captain and leading scorer for the past two seasons, to extend his contract until June 2024.
The deal is worth 40 million euros, which makes it one of the biggest signings in the club's history. The move is seen as a major coup for the club, who have struggled to find a consistent goal scorer this season.
Openda, who has scored 18 goals in all competitions so far this season, will now be required to play a key role in the team's bid to secure a place in the Europa League next season.
The news comes after a tough few months for the club, who have been struggling to find their form and are currently sitting in mid-table in the Bundesliga.
However, the signing of Openda could give them a much-needed boost ahead of the final stages of the season.
The club has also revealed that they will be looking to strengthen their squad further during the transfer window, with a number of high-profile targets being linked with a move to Leverkusen.
Overall, the signing of Openda is likely to be a huge boost for the club, and could help them secure a place in Europe's elite competition next season.
