Report – Inter Milan Expect Atalanta To Respond To Their Final Offer For Nigeria Star In Next Few Days
According to La Repubblica via FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri expect La Dea's reply to arrive in the coming days.
Beppe Marotta met Atalanta president Luca Percassi during a crucial meeting over Lookman's future earlier today.
Indeed, he presented Percassi with Inter's final bid for the 27-year-old worth €45 million, including bonuses.
Atalanta to Respond to Inter Milan Final Bid for Ademola Lookman in 2-3 Days

Despite bridging the gap on Atalanta's €50 million asking price, Inter's latest proposal fell short.
Therefore, the ex-Europa League winners will take time to evaluate the situation.
Part of the reason is that they still hope to convince Ademola Lookman to stay at the Gewiss Stadium.
Meanwhile, the player has made up his mind. He wants to join Inter at all costs.
Moreover, Inter are reluctant to let Atalanta drag them into protracted talks.
Therefore, they expect to get the response within the next 48 hours.
In any case, it shouldn't take more than three days to understand Atalanta's decision.

Why Sixers rookie VJ Edgecombe is watching highlights from Celtics' Derrick White
The Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers have one of the oldest rivalries in the NBA, but that doesn't mean they can't learn from each other. In fact, Sixers rookie VJ Edgecombe is already studying the Celtics, viewing highlights of guard Derrick White to see how he can thrive as a two way player. The Big 12 Freshman of the Year is the same position as White and nearly the same height, generating some easy comparisons. Edgecombe joined Sixers teammate Paul George on the "Podcast P" show and discussed how White, ex-Celtic Jrue Holiday, and 2025 NBA champion Lu Dort are influencing his defensive game. "I watch defensive clips," he said. "I'm watching Jrue Holiday, Derrick Dort. I'm watching them. Just trying to learn both ends of the floor. They're the main people I watch." It's no secret that the third overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft has two-way potential. Edgecombe's athleticism helps him on both sides of the floor, as he averaged 15 points per game during his freshman year while recording 68 steals, the most of any frosh in the history of Baylor basketball. White, who was the second-to-last pick of the first round back in 2017, wasn't as highly regarded as Edgecombe in college. However, the former D-II hooper developed into a two-way stud and helped the Celtics win it all in 2024. The injured 2025-26 Celtics are far from that title team at the moment, leaving the Sixers with the more palpable championship aspirations. But, Philadelphia isn't completely healthy either due to center Joel Embiid's lurking knee issues and Paul George's summer surgery. As a result, White and Edgecombe will be asked to step up for their respective squads next season. And since the Celtics and Sixers both inhabit the Atlantic Division, White and Edgecombe are destined for an on-court battle in the coming months.

Torino hard at work on Simeone, Oristanio, Idzes and more
Giovanni Simeone was a surprise report on July 26, but now Torino are on the verge of an €8m deal with Napoli, while talks continue for Gaetano Oristanio, Jay Idzes and Kassoum Ouattara too. It had been an exclusive here over a week ago that the Granata were interested in Simeone and the negotiations have reached the final details to get an agreement over the line. Napoli are ready to give the all clear for him to undergo his medical, with the fee set at a total of around €8m. Simeone's arrival will allow Duvan Zapata all the time he needs to make a full recovery from that serious knee injury. Torino intensifying transfer activity in August VENICE, ITALY – AUGUST 30: Gaetano Oristanio of Venezia looks on during the Serie A match between Venezia and Torino at Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo on August 30, 2024 in Venice, Italy. (Photo by) Meanwhile, Torino are also working hard on other deals, as we already saw our exclusives on Ardian Ismajli, Franco Israel and Cyril Ngonge pan out. They remain very interested in Oristanio, a link we made exclusively here on June 27, and over the next few days there will be more discussions with Venezia. A deal could be done on loan without the obligation to buy, but only an option, so we shall see. Their meeting with Venezia could also stretch to a conversation about Idzes, although Sassuolo remain on his tail too, in case Saul Coco is sold. Watch out also for AS Monaco left-back Ouattara, as revealed by ToroZone, who is also on their radar.
