### Lens Accepts Bundesliga Offer for Openda with 40M Fee

**By Sports Reporter**

Bundesliga club Bayern Munich has secured the signing of former Chelsea forward Eden Hazard on a five-year contract extension that includes a significant transfer fee. The deal, valued at approximately €40 million (around $52 million), marks a major milestone in Hazard's career and will see him continue to play for one of Europe's top football clubs.

Hazard, who was signed by Chelsea in 2017 for £16 million, made a name for himself during his time at Stamford Bridge, scoring 30 goals in 99 appearances across all competitions. His move to Bayern Munich follows a successful stint at Real Madrid, where he won two Champions Leagues and helped the Spanish giants win the La Liga title in 2018-19.

The Bundesliga club, known for its strong attacking prowess and tactical depth, has been eager to sign a player like Hazard due to his versatility and ability to play both as a striker and winger. Bayern Munich’s technical director Robert Lewandowski is excited about adding another formidable talent to their squad.

“Eden is a player with exceptional skill, vision, and creativity,” said Lewandowski. “He brings a wealth of experience and leadership to our team, which is exactly what we need to compete at the highest level.”

For Hazard, the opportunity to return to Germany and play under the guidance of Jupp Heynckes, Bayern Munich’s head coach, is a significant step in his career. He expressed his gratitude to Chelsea for giving him the chance to develop his skills before joining Real Madrid.

“The decision to come back to Bayern Munich was a no-brainer,” Hazard told reporters. “I’m looking forward to working with Jupp and contributing to the success of this iconic club.”

This move not only strengthens Bayern Munich’s attack but also enhances their chances of winning the league title this season. With Hazard set to lead the line alongside Robert Lewandowski, the Bavarian giants could potentially face off against fierce rivals like RB Leipzig and Dortmund in the final rounds of the competition.

As the transfer window continues to close, it remains to be seen whether other European clubs will make offers for Hazard. However, with Bayern Munich having locked down the signature, they have now completed their most expensive summer transfer in history.

For fans of both clubs, this news is undoubtedly exciting. It promises to bring more thrilling matches and a renewed sense of competition between the German giants and their continental counterparts. As the new season gets underway, fans can look forward to seeing Hazard making a big impact on the pitch for Bayern Munich.
