Juventus Eyes Ademola Lookman as Replacement for Vlahovic Departure
Juventus are reportedly eyeing Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman as a potential signing for the upcoming summer transfer window.
Lookman, currently dazzling at Atalanta, has caught the attention of several top European clubs due to his impressive performances this season.
His skill, speed, and goal-scoring ability have made him a standout player in Serie A.
The 27-year-old winger was on the verge of a high-profile move to Paris Saint-Germain during the last transfer window.
However, Atalanta managed to convince him to stay in Bergamo, a decision that has clearly paid off.
Lookman has been in stellar form, netting 10 goals and providing five assists in just 17 appearances across all competitions so far this season.
His contributions have played a crucial role in Atalanta’s pursuit of European football and domestic success.
Juventus’ interest in Lookman may hinge on the future of their Serbian striker, Dusan Vlahovic.
If Vlahovic decides to leave the Turin-based club at the end of the season, the Bianconeri are expected to move quickly to secure Lookman’s services.
Vlahovic, who joined Juventus from Fiorentina in January 2022, has been a key part of their attack, but his potential departure could open the door for a dynamic player like Lookman to step in.
Bringing Lookman to Juventus won’t be an easy task, as the club is likely to face fierce competition from other European giants.
Paris Saint-Germain still shows interest in the Galatasaray player, Victor Osimhen amid the contract offer with his team. Osimhen has a release clause of €75 million which allows him to transfer to another team in January.
Osimhen has proved to be very impressive this season and has many international clubs eyes set on him such as Manchester United, New Castle United and now PSG. The player is currently on a loan at Galatasaray.
Manchester United discusses signing in 17 year old player, Diego Leon to strengthen Ruben Amorim’s team and defense. This information was revealed by the Football expert, Fabrizio Romano.
Fabrizio released this information on his social media account on X, on Wednesday, stating that Man Utd are thinking about signing in the left back player.
“Manchester United are in active talks with Cerro Porteno for 17 year old left back Diego León as talent for the future,” Romano tweeted.
Ademola Lookman has praised his Atalanta side for their strong showing against Real Madrid, despite suffering a narrow 3-2 loss in their UEFA Champions League clash at the Gewiss Stadium on Tuesday night.
The match marked the first defeat for the reigning UEFA Europa League champions in the Champions League this season, but Atalanta’s performance sent a clear message: they are capable of competing with Europe’s best.
Lookman, who scored Atalanta’s second goal in the intense encounter, was named Man of the Match for his standout contribution.
His goal helped keep the pressure on the Spanish giants, but despite their efforts, Atalanta could not find an equalizer after a dramatic late goal from Real Madrid sealed the victory.
Reflecting on the match, Lookman shared his thoughts with UEFA.com, emphasizing the team’s pride in their performance, despite the result.
“It was a tough game, and Real Madrid took their chances when they had them,” Lookman said.
“We knew going into the match that it would be a hard-fought contest, and although we were unlucky not to come away with a win, we have our heads held high.”
Although disappointed with the final scoreline, the Nigerian forward expressed the belief that Atalanta had shown enough to demonstrate their ability to compete at the highest level.
“We are disappointed with the result because we felt we could have done more,” Lookman continued, “but there’s also a lot of pride in how we played.
We showed that we can go toe-to-toe with the best.”
