Norwich will demand up to £20m from Liverpool for left-back Jamal Lewis, according to reports in the English media.
The Reds were believed to be lining up a £10m offer for the Northern Ireland international but it seems as though the Canaries will be looking for double that figure.
Supporters on Twitter are surprised Norwich are demanding so much for Lewis:

Considering they have been relegated from the Premier League, you would have thought Daniel Farke’s side would be open to offers for most of their players.
However, it must be pointed out that they did not spend a lot of money last summer on transfers following their promotion to the top flight and they may have large cash reserves from TV revenue.
Liverpool could well look to lower Norwich’s asking price by including Yasser Larouci in the deal, with the Canaries believed to be keen on snapping up the Frenchman.
