Belgian international Loïs Openda is following in the footsteps of Cristiano Ronaldo and Zinedine Zidane by renting a luxurious villa, though U2’s Bono apparently found the price tag too steep.
The 26-year-old forward, who currently plays for RB Leipzig, has secured the property, according to HLN. The villa previously housed footballing legends Ronaldo and Zidane during their respective careers.
The report indicates that Bono, the frontman for U2, considered renting the same villa but ultimately deemed the cost prohibitive. Openda’s move comes as he continues to establish himself as a key player for both RB Leipzig and the Belgian national team, known as the Red Devils.
Openda has been a rising star in European football, showcasing his goal-scoring ability and dynamic play. This move to a prestigious residence reflects his growing status within the sport. The forward will be looking to carry his club form into upcoming international fixtures as Belgium prepares for future competitions.
Details regarding the financial terms of the rental agreement were not disclosed.
