Manchester City has rejected Openda's low-price sale offer from Liverpool.
The French striker, who was valued at £25 million on transfermarkt.com before his move to Liverpool in January, had reportedly been offered £17 million by Manchester City.
However, the Premier League club have turned down the offer, citing concerns about the player's contract situation and the potential impact on their squad.
According to reports, Openda signed a new five-year deal with Liverpool in February that includes a buyout clause of £20 million after three years. The striker is currently playing for the Reds alongside Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.
The transfer market has seen several high-profile moves in recent weeks, including the £44 million transfer of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Arsenal to Barcelona, as well as the £28 million signing of Eden Hazard from Chelsea to Real Madrid.
Despite these significant transfers, the Premier League remains one of the most competitive football leagues in the world, with teams constantly seeking to strengthen their squads through both free transfers and player sales.
