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.
