Atletico Madrid remains in active discussions with Atalanta`s star striker Ademola Lookman, according to recent reports. Despite ongoing negotiations for Thiago Almada, the Spanish club has not ceased its pursuit of the Nigerian forward.
Meanwhile, Inter Milan has identified Lookman as their primary target to bolster their attacking options. Manager Cristian Chivu is reportedly keen on adding a creative forward to complement the existing lineup of Lautaro Martinez, Marcus Thuram, Francesco Pio Esposito, and Ange-Yoan Bonny for the upcoming 2025-26 season.
Lookman has been a standout performer for Atalanta since joining the club in 2022, netting an impressive 52 goals in 118 appearances across all competitions. His consistent form has attracted attention from top clubs, with Atalanta reportedly setting an asking price of €50 million for the striker.
As the transfer saga unfolds, both Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan will need to navigate carefully to secure Lookman`s services. The player`s future remains uncertain, with the potential for a high-profile move looming on the horizon.
