AS Roma have seen a late offer for Jamie Leweling turned down by VfB Stuttgart, according to Sky Germany.
The German broadcaster reports that Roma offered a loan deal with an obligation to buy at the end of the season.
The Italian side were reportedly willing to pay around €5 million as a loan fee, with the total package worth more than €40 million.
However, that sort of structure is not an option for Stuttgart, who remain dependent on generating transfer revenue this summer and would therefore prefer to receive a larger fee upfront.
In addition to Roma, a number of Premier League clubs and Inter are said to be monitoring the 24-year-old Germany winger.
