Will Ademola Lookman stay at RB Leipzig?
Everton manager Sam Allardyce says the club will be willing to let Ademola Lookman join RB Leipzig permanently for the right price.
"If it were down to us, I'd already know the answer. But it's not only down to us. We have no clause in the contract. I think that we can only answer the question once the season's finished. It also depends on what happens at Everton," RB Leipzig sporting director Ralf Rangnick told ESPN yesterday.
Now, Everton manager Sam Allardyce says the youngster can leave – but only for the right price.
"Everybody has a price, so if the price goes to where we think we should accept it then I would recommend it, but if the price doesn’t get anywhere near, we’ll have him back here and see how he goes on next season," Allardyce told Liverpool Echo.
The 20-year-old has made seven appearances for RB Leipzig – three of them from the start – and has shown his great potential in glimpses in Germany. However, Allardyce says Lookman has faced the same problem as in England, because he hasn't had as much time on the pitch as he demands.
"He hasn’t played as much as he wanted to. His gripe with me was he wasn’t getting picked, but in all fairness he’s had very limited experience on their pitch as well, hasn’t he?," Allardyce told Liverpool Echo.
Lookman has netted twice and made one assist in seven RB Leipzig appearances.
