RB Leipzig sporting director Markus Krosche insists they can't afford to pay for Patrik Schick.
The Roma striker is on-loan at RBL this season with a €29m permanent option.
“It won't be possible for us to pay the full amount for Schick's signature," Krosche told Sport Bild.
“We want to find a solution."
The 24-year-old has scored seven goals and provided three assists in 19 appearances for RBL this season.
