Inter Milan are reportedly on their way to land Nigeria’s Super Eagles winger, Ademola Lookman, after the player reached an agreement to leave Atalanta in a €40m deal.
This report is according to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio who claimed that Inter have moved decisively in their pursuit of the Super Eagles star and are prepared to meet Atalanta with a firm proposal.
“Inter are serious about Lookman, agreement with the player, €40m ready for Atalanta,” Di Marzio reported.
The former Leicester City winger is currently under contract at Atalanta until 2027, but talks between the clubs have begun, with Inter hoping that a previously made promise by Atalanta to allow Lookman leave this summer will be respected.
Despite Atalanta’s valuation of €50m, Inter are willing to pay €40m with no intention of increasing their bid.
“Atalanta are asking for at least €50m, but Inter do not intend to go beyond their proposal,” Di Marzio added.
“The player has already given his approval to the transfer, which is why the Champions League runners-up are keen to avoid prolonged negotiations. If talks drag on, Inter may decide to move on to other targets, including Nico Gonzalez.”
Lookman enjoyed a standout 2024–25 campaign, scoring 15 goals and playing a decisive role in Atalanta’s UEFA Europa League triumph.
