Report – Inter Milan & Atalanta Set For Fresh Round Of Talks For Nigeria Superstar Today
According to Sport Mediaset via FCInterNews, the clubs will ramp up talks for the Nigerian's move to San Siro.
Inter's opening bid for Ademola Lookman was narrowly off the mark.
Indeed, Atalanta deemed Inter's €40 million bid insufficient as they stick to their €50m valuation.
However, Ivan Juric's men are open to a dialogue, and a potential discount remains a distinct possibility.
Inter Milan & Atalanta Set for Another Ademola Lookman Round of Talks
Lookman's desire to join the Nerazzurri is well-documented. After all, he has already agreed personal terms with the San Siro club.
Therefore, Atalanta have a little wriggle room, especially after the 27-year-old rejected Napoli's approach.
Meanwhile, Inter are confident a minor financial increase will help them get the deal over the line.
Despite Lookman's household status in Bergamo, Atalanta promised to let him leave for the right offer last summer.
Now, the Nigerian looks to hold La Dea to their promise.

Liverpool Transfer News: Electric star asks club to ACCEPT offer
One electric star has now asked for a transfer offer to be accepted. Liverpool might now have a deal here. Liverpool have been as busy as anyone in this transfer window. They've broken their transfer record for Florian Wirtz, and paid huge fees for two new full-backs. LFC Kits Shop Now LFC x New Era Shop Now LFC Signed Merch Shop Now LFC x Titleist Shop Now Hugo Ekitike is expected to join very shortly, too, in a huge deal. The Reds have not been shy about upgrading their squad if they think there's a chance to. That includes sales. Trent Alexander-Arnold left for a transfer fee, somehow, while Caoimhin Kelleher and Jarell Quansah both moved on. Now the attention turns to attack, where Liverpool are expected to sell some stars. Darwin Nunez is one of those - he's been linked to several clubs now, even if a deal is proving difficult. And then there's Luis Diaz. That's a complicated one as Liverpool aren't all that keen to sell the Colombian. On the other hand, there's plenty of interest in him. And now a deal might be getting over the line. Luis Diaz wants offer accepted Colombian journalist Pipe Sierra reports that Luis Diaz has asked Liverpool to accept Bayern Munich's latest offer. The caveat here is that he wants it accepted if the Reds aren't willing to upgrade his contract. It certainly doesn't look likely that he'll get the deal he wants. Bayern's new offer, reported to be around €75m, is a massive one and we imagine Liverpool will in fact accept this. Diaz is now 28 and actively wanting to leave the club. There's already an elite left-winger at the club in Cody Gakpo, too, while Liverpool's asking price was always said to be around €80m.

AC Milan ready to reluanch pursuit of Ardon Jashari
AC Milan are planning to resume talks with Club Brugge for the signing of their top midfield target Ardon Jashari, according to Italian journalist Matteo Moretto. Negotiations have hit a standstill after Brugge rejected Milan's offer worth €35 million plus add-ons. The Belgian outfit remain firm on their stance that Ashari will not leave the club unless their €40 million valuation is met. However, Milan have been given hope due to the Swiss international's efforts to force out a move from Brugge. Jashari has snubbed offers from West Ham United and Wolverhampton Wanderers in favour of a move to San Siro. A verbal agreement on a five-year deal with Milan is already in place, which would see Jashari earn around €2.4 million per season. Milan are not done with their midfield reinforcements after signing Luka Modric and Samuele Ricci in this transfer window. Jashari is viewed as a long-term investment for the Rossoneri after a stellar breakout campaign last season. The 22-year-old bagged four goals and six assists in 52 appearances in all competitions and was named the Belgian Pro Player of the Season. He also performed consistently in the Champions League, putting in a man of the match display against Atalanta in the knockout play-offs. Jashari can operate as a deep-lying playmaker or a box-to-box midfielder, with an excellent passing range to control the tempo of the game and breach the opposition defences. His athletic ability and excellent reading of the game allow him to anticipate danger quickly and make crucial tackles and interceptions. Along with Ricci, Jashari has all the qualities to dominate Milan's midfield for the foreseeable future.
