Revealed – Why Atalanta & Nigeria Star Desperately Wants Inter Milan Transfer
Ademola Lookman is reportedly willing to go to great lengths to force Atalanta to sanction his transfer to Inter Milan. According to Fabrizio Romano via FCInterNews, talks between the clubs are in limbo due to their differences in valuation. Despite the player's wish, the Bergamo giants are reluctant to budge on their eye-watering €50 million asking price. Meanwhile, the Serie A runners-up are only ready to offer up to €40m. Indeed, both clubs have already made their stances clear. Why Ademola Lookman Wants to Swap Atalanta for Inter Milan TURIN, ITALY – MARCH 09: Ademola Lookman of Atalanta celebrates scoring his team's fourth goal during the Serie A match between Juventus and Atalanta at the Allianz Stadium on March 09, 2025 in Turin, Italy. (Photo by) Given the circumstances, Ademola Lookman is the only person who can unlock the deal. The 27-year-old's desire to continue his career at San Siro could hand Inter a crucial decisive boost. Meanwhile, the Nerazzurri must play a game of patience. Lookman was close to joining Paris Saint-Germain last summer, but Atalanta called the deal off at the 11th hour. Despite staying at the Gewiss Stadium, the Nigerian had a topsy-turvy 2024/25 season. Indeed, he had a fallout with Gian Piero Gasperini but refused to let that affect his performance. Now, he believes he has achieved everything in Bergamo and wants to move on.

Brighton forward Evan Ferguson joins Roma on loan - World
Brighton and Ireland forward Evan Ferguson has joined Serie A side Roma on a season-long loan, the clubs announced on Wednesday. Ferguson, 20, burst onto the scene as a teenager, scoring 10 goals for Premier League club Brighton and making his international debut in the 2022/23 season. He scored a hat-trick against Newcastle as an 18-year-old but his career has stalled due to loss of form and injury. In total he has made 80 appearances for Brighton, scoring 17 goals, but has scored just one goal at club level since November 2023. Ferguson spent the second half of the last campaign on loan with West Ham, where he made eight appearances, failing to score a goal. "AS Roma are delighted to announce the signing of Evan Ferguson from Brighton and Hove Albion," said the Serie A club. "Ferguson will join Roma on loan with an option to buy." Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler said: "Evan had a challenging period across the past season and a half, and it has been one disrupted by niggling injury issues, which hasn't allowed him a run of games. "He is over those injuries and has come back in great shape. Now he really wants to play regularly. This is an exciting opportunity in a strong league and with the prospect of European football."

Irish striker Evan Ferguson's loan move to Italian club Roma has officially been confirmed
The 42 EVAN FERGUSON'S MOVE to Roma has been confirmed by the Serie A club. The Republic of Ireland international joins Roma on loan from Brighton with an option to buy. Ferguson arrived in Roma in recent days to finalise the switch. The 42 understands that the Serie A club have also agreed an option to buy the 20-year-old on a permanent basis for €40 million as part of the deal. 'Delighted to be here,' Ferguson said in a video posted on the club's X account. 'Can't wait to get started. I'm going to see you all in the stadium soon.'

It's believed that there was interest from other clubs in Serie A, as well as in Germany, the Premier League, and English Championship, but the Meath native will settle with the number 11 shirt in Roma.

Report – Inter Milan Enter Negotiations With Atalanta Over Star Forward From A Position Of Strength
Negotiations between Inter Milan and Atalanta over Ademola Lookman are not progressing smoothly, but there's a reason for optimism. According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInter1908, the Nerazzurri will resume talks from a position of strength. Despite Atalanta's firm stance, there's a feeling that Ademola Lookman will soon become a new Inter player. Indeed, the player has an overwhelming desire to continue his career at San Siro. Furthermore, he already has an agreement with the 20-time Italian champions over personal terms. Inter Milan Have Upper Hand on Atalanta in Ademola Lookman Talks TURIN, ITALY – MARCH 09: Ademola Lookman of Atalanta celebrates scoring his team's fourth goal during the Serie A match between Juventus and Atalanta at the Allianz Stadium on March 09, 2025 in Turin, Italy. (Photo by) Discussions are currently on hold as Inter refuse to meet Atalanta's €50 million asking price. However, they're ready to offer €40m, as they already did, and it may eventually prove enough to seal the deal. With the player's contract in Bergamo set to expire in 2027, time is ticking away for La Dea. Indeed, they can ill-afford to let the Nigerian enter the final year of his contract. That would significantly weaken their position and minimize their profits.
