Lookman still waiting for Inter, but respectful of Atalanta
Over the last 24 hours, the Nerazzurri worked out deals to sell Aleksandar Stankovic to Club Brugge and Tajon Buchanan to Villarreal, putting together an additional kitty worth around €20m.
This will give them the opportunity to increase the proposal for the Nigerian, which had reached €40m.
As we already stated, an agreement can be reached if the bid rises to €45m plus €5m in add-ons, but there are other important elements to make clear too.
Lookman patient for Inter

The first is that the deadline is confirmed, Inter will not drag this on after July 31, so if nothing happens over the next few hours, we'd suggest circling the days from July 28 to 30 for developments.
The second matter is that Lookman is maintaining a very professional attitude with his current club.
He was at the Zingonia training ground today, he saluted the fans, is always on time for his treatments, and evidently waiting for a turning point that in his mind only takes the form of Inter.

Revealed – How France U21 Star Will Be Used At Inter Milan Next Season
Inter Milan are planning to have Ange-Yoan Bonny be the backup to Marcus Thuram next season. This according to today's print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInter1908. Striker Ange-Yoan Bonny joined Inter Milan this summer. The Frenchman arrived on a five-year deal from Parma. Bonny had been a Parma player for four years, having signed for the Emilian club in 2021. And last season was Bonny's first in Serie A. He made the step up well, helping Parma to remain in the top flight. Therefore, Bonny caught Inter's eye. And the fact that Cristian Chivu took over as Inter coach following his successful stint in charge of Parma certainly didn't hurt Bonny as a target for the Nerazzurri. Inter Milan See Ange-Yoan Bonny As Marcus Thuram Backup PARMA, ITALY – DECEMBER 15: Ange-Yoan Bonny of Parma Calcio reacts during the Serie A match between Parma and Verona at Stadio Ennio Tardini on December 15, 2024 in Parma, Italy. (Photo by) Clearly, Inter Milan are not planning to make Ange-Yoan Bonny a first-choice striker right away. However, that leads to the question of exactly what the 21-year-old's role will be at the Nerazzurri next season. Particularly considering the expected arrival of Ademola Lookman or a different attacker to facilitate the switch to a 3-4-2-1 formation. According to Tuttosport, Inter's plan is to have Bonny be the backup to fellow Frenchman Marcus Thuram. Clearly, Thuram will not start every match next season. And Inter's idea is that, rather than having an older player to back up the 27-year-old, Bonny can be his understudy, learning and improving.

Revealed – Which Two Italy Stars Inter Milan & Napoli Would Have Swapped Had Simone Inzaghi Stayed
Inter Milan had been ready to make a swap deal involving Davide Frattesi and Giacomo Raspadori had Simone Inzaghi stayed coach. This via FCInter1908. The change of coach, however, has changed the fortunes of Frattesi who now looks clearly set to remain at Inter. It is not secret that Davide Frattesi looked to be on the way out at Inter not long ago. The Italian international had reportedly already asked to leave in January. This was due to a lack of playing time. And despite a few signs that things were changing towards the end of last season, the Champions League final seemed to be the last straw. Frattesi reportedly had a bust-up with Inzaghi over the fact that he didn't even feature as a substitute. Inter Were Ready To Make Frattesi Raspadori Swap Had Inzaghi Stayed MILAN, ITALY – MARCH 30: Davide Frattesi of FC Internazionale celebrates after scoring their team's secon goal during the Serie A match between FC Internazionale and Udinese Calcio at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on March 30, 2025 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) Therefore, reported via FCInter1908, Inter would have been ready to offload Frattesi. And among the clubs interested in the 25-year-old are Napoli. The Partenopei also have a player who has been of interest to Inter – forward Giacomo Raspadori. And Raspadori himself looks as though he may well be ready to leave Naples. Therefore, a swap deal involving the two Italian internationals and former Sassuolo players could have been in the offing. However, that all changed when Simone Inzaghi decided to leave for the riches of Al-Hilal. Cristian Chivu arrived as Inter coach to replace Inzaghi. And the Romanian is ready to give Frattesi a chance at Inter.
