On Friday, it was reported that Atalanta reportedly turned down an offer from Inter Milan for Nigerian winger Ademola Lookman during the current summer transfer window, according to Sky Sports.
The initial proposal from Inter included €42 million plus €3 million in bonuses, but Atalanta held firm on its valuation of €50 million for the player.
Despite the club’s stance, Lookman has shown clear signs of wanting a move to Inter. The 26-year-old recently removed photos of himself in an Atalanta shirt from his Instagram account and deleted his profile description identifying him as an Atalanta player—actions widely seen as an attempt to pressure the club into approving the transfer.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Inter reached a personal agreement with Lookman on a five-year contract.
The player has reportedly rejected interest from other clubs, including Napoli, making it clear that he prefers a move to the Nerazzurri.
According to Italian media, Inter has since raised its offer to €45 million, though a gap of €5 million still separates the two clubs, with negotiations ongoing.
Lookman, whose contract with Atalanta run until summer 2027, joined the club in 2022 from Leicester City and has delivered standout performances that have drawn attention from Italy’s top sides.
