Ademola Lookman has given Inter Milan a significant boost in their pursuit of the forward by choosing not to sign a new contract with Atalanta. According to reports from Corriere dello Sport, relayed by FCInterNews, the 27-year-old seems resolute in his desire to make the move to San Siro, emphasizing his intention to join the Nerazzurri.
For context, Lookman has already accepted an offer from Inter Milan that would see him earn €4.5 million net per season. This move appears to be more than just a possibility, as Inter has reportedly submitted a written bid of €45 million for the player. Atalanta seems to be hesitating in responding to the offer, likely because they’re making a final attempt to convince Lookman to remain with the team. In an attempt to turn his head, Atalanta has even offered him a more lucrative contract valued at €5 million net per season.
However, it looks like their attempts to dissuade Lookman have ultimately faltered. The Nigerian international is determined to make a move to Inter Milan, showing his strong commitment to the ambitions of the Serie A club.
Ademola in action
It’s interesting to note that Atalanta had already considered Lookman’s potential exit as part of their transfer plans. Even before the situation with Mateo Retegui’s move to Al-Qadsiah unfolded, the club was preparing to sell the former RB Leipzig player. Retegui’s noteworthy transfer fee is likely causing Atalanta to rethink their strategy in the market. Now, they seem to be focusing on how to replace Lookman effectively to ensure they stay competitive.

It will be interesting to see how both clubs handle the potential transfer, and I’m curious to see how Lookman’s career unfolds if he ends up moving to Inter Milan soon. This situation has the makings of an exciting storyline.
