In the United States the purchase price is specified in the initial lease contract. Essentially how a lease works is, the financing company makes an educated guess at how much the car will depreciate over the lease period, that amount is then split up into monthly payments, and that's your lease payment. At the end, the value they estimated and wrote down on the contract is what you can buy the vehicle for. These numbers are usually conservative, and generally work out slightly in the favor of the dealer, therefore there isn't much room to negotiate things as a rule.
