RB Leipzig remain hopeful that a deal can be agreed with Everton regarding the transfer of Ademola Lookman, according to reports from Germany.
The Bundesliga club’s desire to sign Lookman has been clear for all to see throughout the summer transfer window, with three bids having already been reportedly turned down by Everton.
Lookman spent the second half of last season on loan with Leipzig and made a lasting impression, with the club now doing all they can to tie up a permanent deal for the England Under-21 international.
Time is running out for Leipzig but despite Everton’s demand for them to cough up a premium price for Lookman, German outlet Bild indicate that Ralf Rangnick’s side aren’t willing to give up just yet.
Lookman is believed to be keen on making the switch from Merseyside to Leipzig, but Everton have not yet shown a willingness to sanction the sale of the former Charlton Athletic youngster.
It’s stated by Bild that Everton aren’t ready to listen to offers worth under €20m for Lookman, but previous reports have indicated that the Toffees are demanding £28m at the very least for the player.
