Inter: there's the'bid for Ademola Lookman, Atalanta raises barricades
Inter Milan soccer market: Ademola Lookman is the no longer forbidden dream of the Milanese club, with Atalanta trying to raise the barricades at least on the price of the operation. The willingness of the Anglo-Nigerian striker, however, now seems clear, with a yes to the move between nerazzurre that from his side would have already arrived.
The situation was clarified by ‘Sky Sport‘ explaining that Inter’has broken the deadlock by presenting an official first offer for the player. There is talk of 40 million, which, however, Atalanta would receive only in a year: in fact, the meneghini aim to take him on loan in the meantime, but with a buy-back obligation.
Conditions that Atalanta has rejected without reservation. The Orobica management, which would not like to deprive itself of Lookman, does not agree to sit at the negotiating table for less than 50 million. That is not all: the’idea is that if the’hero of the Europa League final against Bayer Leverkusen should indeed leave Bergamo, he will do so only on an outright basis. Detail that largely leaves in the running even the’other big suitor for the player: the’Atletico Madrid.
The real news would lie in the willingness of Lookman himself, who has already been convinced to wear the Inter shirt next season. A situation that Atalanta has already known and experienced, since a year ago this time there was talk of the very strong interest of PSG for a player who had already been convinced to move to France. Then nothing came of it, but the impression is that 2025 may tell a different story. Especially since one of the team’s iconic players like him was not chosen among the “models” for the presentation of the new Nerazzurri jersey, which arrived just Thursday morning.
