Thirty-five million on the table. Not enough.
RB Leipzig lodged an official bid with LOSC on Sunday morning. Around 35 million euros, bonuses included, for Matias Fernandez-Pardo. Fabrizio Romano broke it.
The problem is simple. Lille want 70.
Foot Mercato revealed that figure exclusively a few days ago, and the asking price has not shifted by a cent since.
Try it for $0.99.
Letang has taken the file himself

The wider picture is what weighs. Ayyoub Bouaddi’s move to England now looks more than likely, and losing two young pillars in the same window with ten days left before the deadline is not the script the club’s hierarchy had in mind.
What happens next depends on whether Leipzig come back with more. Or not.
