Red Bull Leipzig must go higher to land Benfica whizkid Umaro Embalo.
The teen is also a target for Manchester United, Real Madrid and Barcelona this month. However, Embalo favours a move to RBL as he believes his development would be best served with the German club.
O Jogo says their €13m offer was rejected and they must go to €18m to land Embalo.
RBL chief Ralf Rangnick will be in Lisbon today in an attempt to close an agreement before the likes of United and Real step in with a counter offer.
