Star Black Hole! Openda's cost per minute for Juventus exceeds €50,000, with only 1 goal in Serie A this season.

Manchester United is often labeled a star black hole, particularly for strikers. Yet after Carrick's appointment, the new forward signings Mbomo, Sesko, and Cunha have shown promising performances this season. Currently, Juventus stands out as a notable star black hole in Europe's top five leagues.

According to recent statistics from Italian media "Tuttosport," 26-year-old Belgian forward Openda's cost per minute for Juventus exceeds €50,000. However, this new signing has only scored 1 goal in Serie A this season, delivering a disappointing performance.

Openda joined Juventus last summer on a €3.3 million loan from Leipzig, with a buyout option of €40.6 million. The player's pre-tax annual salary at Juventus is as high as €7.4 million.

Since joining Juventus, Openda has struggled to find his scoring form. This season in Serie A, he has appeared 23 times, with 6 starts, totaling 648 minutes, scoring only 1 goal and providing no assists. This means Openda's cost per minute for Juventus in Serie A is €75,000; across all competitions, with 993 minutes played, the average cost per minute also reaches €51,661.

Fans are heatedly discussing this, suggesting that forwards from Leipzig should be approached cautiously. A personal viewpoint: actually, forwards from the Bundesliga should be carefully considered. Apart from Bayern, several strong Bundesliga teams tend to boost statistics to sell players for profit. Many so-called excellent Bundesliga attackers struggle to adapt and perform when moving to other leagues.
