Report – Atalanta Slap Substantial €55M Price Tag On Inter Milan Top Target

Atalanta have reportedly named a price for star forward Ademola Lookman amid drawn-out negotiations with Inter Milan. According to Sportitalia via FCInterNews, La Dea have slapped a €55 million price tag on the Nigerian ace. Inter Milan and Atalanta have been in talks over Lookman's transfer to San Siro for almost a month. However, there's been no progress. Indeed, the Nerazzurri have withdrawn from the negotiation table after seeing their €45 million bid rejected earlier in August. Atalanta Set Price Ademola Lookman Tag Amid Inter Milan Links BOLOGNA, ITALY – SEPTEMBER 28: Ademola Lookman of Atalanta BC looks on during the Serie A match between Bologna and Atalanta at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara on September 28, 2024 in Bologna, Italy. (Photo by) Atalanta have shown no willingness to grant Inter a discount so far. Instead, they seem hellbent on squeezing out every penny from the 27-year-old's potential sale. Furthermore, Ivan Juric's men have already found a replacement for Ademola Lookman. It's Fulham's Rodrigo Muniz, though the Cottagers have rejected Atalanta's opening €40 million offer. Meanwhile, Lookman is refusing to return to Bergamo. Indeed, he is currently in London with his family. He left Atalanta's training camp at the start of August. Therefore, the saga goes on, with time ticking away.
