RB Leipzig drop big hint at increased Ademola Lookman bid
RB Leipzig are set to make a further bid for young Everton forward Ademola Lookman, boss Ralf Rangnick has strongly suggested.
The 20-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at the Bundesliga club and they are keen to take him back on a permanent deal.
Everton have reportedly turned down a £12million bid, but Leipzig sporting director Rangnick, who on Monday was also also appointed first-team manager, has no intention of giving up.
“Bringing in three more players would be realistic,” Rangnick told a press conference.
“We’re still in talks over Ademola Lookman – we want him back and he wants to come.”
Lookman joined the Toffees on a four-and-a-half-year deal in January 2017 from Charlton Athletic.
