Ric Flair Posted 24 June 2022 Share Posted 24 June 2022 I suspect the purchase option figure expires at the end of June, will be interesting to see what we'd do if let's say Fulham or Forest came in with a £12m bid for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leipzig will want more than that I think and if we get first option at £15 million , we should take it .If he comes in at £3 to 4 million a year , it will certainly improve his current pay.

Supergray22 Posted 24 June 2022 Share Posted 24 June 2022 We should get this done soon before it is too late. We may shave a bit off the fee but I think the statement it sends out to the team and the fans cannot be under estimated. He had a decent first season and is a good character showing tenacity and desire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could enter the race for Raphina but outbidding clubs like Barcelona is rarely done. Taking a punt on a kid with "potential ' won't wash , we haven't got the time.

Jobyfox Posted 28 June 2022 Share Posted 28 June 2022 (edited) Maybe this is all psychology. If we signed him at the beginning of the window everyone would have been a bit: “meh … ok” Now, when he’s the only player we sign (on loan) in the window on transfer deadline day, it will feel like we’re signing prime Messi.

davieG Posted 30 June 2022 Author Share Posted 30 June 2022 https://soccernet.ng/2022/06/super-eagles-star-set-to-return-to-leipzig-after-leicester-city-snub.html The Foxes had the opportunity to retain the services of the Super Eagles forward, but they refused Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman is set to return to his parent club RB Leipzig next Monday for preseason after Leicester City refused to retain his services permanently. Lookman has had a nomadic career, playing for four different clubs in the last four years. He has featured for Everton, RB Leipzig, Fulham, and Leicester City. However, after his decent campaign at the King Power Stadium last season, when he recorded eight goals and five assists in 41 appearances, it would not have been out of place to give the Charlton Athletic product a chance. Still, the Foxes opted to drag their feet over signing the 24-year-old. Nonetheless, Lookman could get another shot at proving his worth as he would work under a new manager Domenico Tedesco. Leipzig are blessed with young attacking talents like Christopher Nkunku who just signed a new contract, Andre Silva who is linked with a move to Barcelona, Emil Forsberg, and Dani Olmo. But it could be a tough task keeping all of them this summer. If any of them leaves, Lookman could get an advantage. Also, he has the entire preseason to prove to Tedesco that he deserves a first-team slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moore_94 Posted 30 June 2022 Share Posted 30 June 2022 (edited) Could be because we are trying to get him for a fee cheaper than the clause was, so would mean we wouldn’t activate the option Also could be because a back up left winger is likely to be 4th/5th on our list of requirements this summer, so may be a deal we look to do later on Edited 30 June 2022 by moore_94 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamilton Fox Posted 30 June 2022 Share Posted 30 June 2022 Thought it was a no brainer for only £15m or so but I guess we just don’t have the money to spend on his as well if it means we can’t get our main targets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
