Reports:
Leipzig rebuffed once again in Openda pursuit
By Peter Weis @PeterVicey
Both Germany's main sporting tabloid and Sky's German outfit are denying reports that RB Leipzig's latest offer for Belgian striker Loïs Openda has been accepted.

The reports appearing in the German footballing media sources remain eminently believable when one considers how much money other clubs will wish to bilk Leipzig for after a summer of high profile departures. Sky is now already suggesting that the transfer may fall through in light of plays such as these. RB chief personnel executive Max Eberl may rapidly be running out of moves after seeing a fourth offer rejected.
Still no agreement between @RBLeipzig & @RCLens regarding the transfer of Lois #Openda. Lens insists on a total transfer package of €50m - bonus payments included. Talks continue. Openda is on holiday until 17 July, after which he would go to training camp with Lens. @SkySportDE pic.twitter.com/GWR702gz85
