Report – Inter Milan Increasingly Confident Of Signing Atalanta Talisman
Inter Milan are reportedly growing optimistic about their chances of signing Ademola Lookman from Atalanta in the coming days. According to FCInter1908, Inter's confidence is not unfounded. During his latest interview, La Dea president Luca Percassi confirmed what everyone had already suspected. Indeed, he admitted that Ademola Lookman had requested a transfer, bolstering Inter's quest to land the Nigerian. However, the Serie A runners-up are still waiting for Atalanta's response to their official bid.

Now, it's up to Atalanta to decide. However, their backs are against the wall, with Lookman eager to secure a transfer to San Siro. Atalanta's efforts to persuade the 27-year-old to stay stem from their desire to maintain a strong public image. Indeed, they can ill-afford to sanction two high-profile departures after Mateo Retegui's transfer to Al-Qadsiah.

New Inter Milan U23 Coach Sets Impressive Club Record Even Before The Season Starts
Inter Milan U23 coach Stefano Vecchi has etched his name into the club's history books by setting a new record. According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the 54-year-old has entered club folklore midway through the summer. Stefano Vecchi returned to Inter this month to take charge of the U23 squad. However, he is no stranger to the San Siro environment. Indeed, he was at the helm of Inter's youth teams in the past before embarking on a career in senior management. Inter Milan U23 Boss Stefano Vecchi Makes Club History Getty Images Highly-rated Vecchi became the first person to win the Primavera championship as a player and manager. While it was a remarkable feat, it's not the only impressive milestone achieved by the highly-rated coach. Indeed, the former Vicenza head coach is the first tactician to have managed multiple Inter sides across different levels. Therefore, his legacy within the club continues to grow even before the start of the highly expected 2025/26 season. Furthermore, he enjoys the unlimited trust of Beppe Marotta, who views him as a key figure in the club's long-term plans. Hopefully, he will repay that trust once Inter U23's maiden season in Serie C gets underway next month.

(Photo by Pier) 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.
