Lookman's Inter Move Hits Atalanta Roadblock
Rana Atef On Friday, it was reported that Atalanta reportedly turned down an offer from Inter Milan for Nigerian winger Ademola Lookman during the current summer transfer window, according to Sky Sports. The initial proposal from Inter included €42 million plus €3 million in bonuses, but Atalanta held firm on its valuation of €50 million for the player. Despite the club's stance, Lookman has shown clear signs of wanting a move to Inter. The 26-year-old recently removed photos of himself in an Atalanta shirt from his Instagram account and deleted his profile description identifying him as an Atalanta player—actions widely seen as an attempt to pressure the club into approving the transfer. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Inter reached a personal agreement with Lookman on a five-year contract. The player has reportedly rejected interest from other clubs, including Napoli, making it clear that he prefers a move to the Nerazzurri. According to Italian media, Inter has since raised its offer to €45 million, though a gap of €5 million still separates the two clubs, with negotiations ongoing. Lookman, whose contract with Atalanta run until summer 2027, joined the club in 2022 from Leicester City and has delivered standout performances that have drawn attention from Italy's top sides. read more Japan Stun Spain 2-1 to Qualify for World Cup Last 16 World Cup 2022: Get to Know Confirmed Line-ups of Japan and Spain Group E Decider Saudi Arabia Bid Farewell to World Cup after 2-1 Loss to Mexico Tunisia Achieve Historic Win over France but Fail to Qualify Tunisia to Clash against France in World Cup Sports Get to Know Squad of Group D Teams in World Cup Sports Al Ahly Gift EGP 70,000 to Players After Claiming Egyptian Super Cup Title Sports Bencharki Hits First 2 Goals with Al Jazira Since Leaving Zamalek Sports Arsenal Possible Line-up for Nottingham Forest News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results
