RB Leipzig Yet To Meet Everton's Asking Price For Lookman

Published: July 22, 2019

According to reports in the German media, Bundesliga side RB Leipzig are yet to meet Everton's asking price for young Nigeria-eligible winger Ademola Lookman.

Sport Witness citing the print edition of Bild claims both clubs are still far apart in their valuations.

Everton have demanded more than €20 million for Lookman, a fee that the German club are unwilling to match.

Red Bull boss Oliver Mintzlaff has insisted that they will not overpay to sign the England U20 World Cup-winning winger.

Lookman, who has two years left on his contract with the Toffees, is believed to pushing for an exit due to a lack of first-team opportunities, with the former Charlton Athletic wonderkid making only three Premier League starts over the course of last season.

He was loaned to RB Leipzig for the second half of the 2017-2018 season, scoring 5 goals in 11 matches in the German top flight.
