The Everton winger was loaned to Leipzig last season.
RB Leipzig will continue to monitor Ademola Lookman’s development and see the Everton winger as “a Red Bull guy”, according to the German side’s technical director, Paul Mitchell.
Lookman spent the second half of last season on loan to Leipzig, for whom he scored five goals and set up three in 11 appearances.
But the England Under-21 international – who the Independent claimed wanted a summer return to the Red Bull Arena – has failed to start a single Premier League game since his return to Everton.
And Mitchell told the Sun newspaper on Monday: “It’s clear how much affection we have for Ademola and I think from the way he performed here, the environment we created for him and the platform we gave him, he also enjoyed his time here.
“And with a situation like that, we would always be open to revisiting, but you never know.
“At this moment he is an Everton player and he’s working with some really good people there.
“We know him and we will always keep a very close eye on his development because we see him as a Red Bull guy from his time here.
“But at the moment we just have to hope that he continues his progression as a footballer and let’s see what the future brings.”
Lookman joined Everton from Charlton Athletic in January 2017, having progressed through the Addicks’ academy ranks.
The 21-year-old – who has seen two of his international teammates, Jadon Sancho and Reiss Nelson, excel since moving to German football – is under contract for another two-and-a-half years at Goodison Park.
