Atletico Madrid Push to Sign Ademola Lookman from Atalanta
Atletico Madrid have entered the race to sign Ademola Lookman, adding to the growing list of clubs eyeing the Atalanta winger.
Despite having two years left on his current deal, Lookman is likely to leave the Serie A side this summer. Atalanta are reportedly open to selling the Nigerian forward, but they’ve set his price tag at around €60 million. Reports from Spain suggest Atletico have already begun talks with Lookman’s camp. However, Diego Simeone’s side is hoping to negotiate a lower fee.
The 27-year-old has been in fine form this season, scoring 18 goals and providing seven assists in 37 appearances for the Italian club. Lookman made the switch to Atalanta from German side RB Leipzig back in 2022 and has since grown into one of their key players.
Head coach of Atletico Madrid, Diego Simeone, speaks on team defense and called out a player who needs to toughen up. He shared that Ademola Lookman needs to work on defense.
“Ademola Lookman arrived with great enthusiasm and desire to keep growing. We need him to add defensive work to what he already gives us offensively, because he has that ability,” he then added.
“He’s shown it with the Nigeria national team, and we need him in that role.”
Former football legend Paul Merson states that Mohammad Salah is the greatest winger of all time.
While also praising Bukayo Saka for being the winger in form right now.
When asked in a recent interview, he stated “For the best right now, it’s probably [Bukayo] Saka for his all-around game. I will go Salah, because the numbers he’s put up are ridiculous.”
Former player Paul Merson shares his predictions on this weekend’s Premier League games.
He shared Leeds United vs Manchester City – Prediction: Leeds 1-1 Manchester City.
Manchester United vs Crystal Palace – Prediction: Manchester United 3-0 Crystal Palace.
Arsenal vs Chelsea – Prediction: Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea.
