Report – Inter Milan Will Only Sign Chelsea Flop As A Last Resort
Inter Milan will reportedly only sign Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku as a last resort if their pursuit of Ademola Lookman collapses. This according to today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. They report that the Frenchman's wages would be a major potential issue. Inter Milan are reeling after Atalanta rejected their second offer for forward Ademola Lookman. The Nerazzurri's pursuit of the Nigerian international is not exactly dead in the water. Particularly if the player is to really kick up a fuss to try and force through the transfer. However, with Atalanta's firm stance, Inter know that they need a Plan B. Inter Will Only Sign Chelsea Forward Christopher Nkunku As Last Resort CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA – JUNE 28: Christopher Nkunku #18 of Chelsea FC celebrates scoring his team's second goal during the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 round of 16 match between SL Benfica and Chelsea FC at Bank of America Stadium on June 28, 2025 in Charlotte, North Carolina. (Photo by) According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, one such Plan B could be Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku. The Nerazzurri have been aware of the opportunity to sign the 27-year-old former RB Leipzig forward for some time. He is a player Chelsea are desperate to sell this summer. Nkunku would cost a fee of around €40 million. That is certainly attainable for Inter. After all, it is what they initially bid for Nkunku. However, reports the Gazzetta, Inter are not just going to move on to Nkunku after Atalanta's rejection of their second bid for Lookman. In particularly, the Frenchman's wages would be an issue. Nkunku earns €6.5 million net per season at Chelsea. By contrast, Inter have agreed personal terms with Lookman worth €4.5 million net per season. Therefore, reports the Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter will continue to wait. They're only going to move for Nkunku if they run out of options.

Report – Inter Milan Not Giving Up On Signing Atalanta Talisman Despite Major Setback
Inter Milan are reportedly not giving up on signing Ademola Lookman despite Atalanta having rejected their second bid for the Nigerian. Today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews, report that the Nerazzurri don't plan to raise their offer, but could hope for Lookman to force Atalanta's hand. Yesterday, Atalanta gave their response to Inter's second offer for Ademola Lookman. Having already turned down a bid of €40 million for the Nigerian, the Bergamo club also rejected Inter's second offer of €42 million plus €3 million in add-ons. This did not go down well with Inter, of course. But in particular, the response from Atalanta infuriated Lookman, who removed all mention of Atalanta from his social media. Including pictures in an Atalanta kit. Inter Not Giving Up On Ademola Lookman After Second Atalanta Rejection DUBLIN, IRELAND – MAY 22: Ademola Lookman of Atalanta BC bites their winner's medal as he celebrates victory after the UEFA Europa League 2023/24 final match between Atalanta BC and Bayer 04 Leverkusen at Dublin Arena on May 22, 2024 in Dublin, Ireland. (Photo by) According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter have hardly given up, however. The response from Atalanta has baffled the Nerazzurri somewhat. It admittedly comes as a setback after the Nerazzurri had hoped to wrap up the transfer saga early in August. However, the Gazzetta report, Inter feel that their offer is fair. And they are ready to stand their ground. Moreover, Lookman himself will have a key role to play. The Nigerian is absolutely adamant about leaving Atalanta, and wants the move to Inter. After his reaction on social media yesterday, he's ready to further pressure La Dea. Therefore, Inter are hoping that this pressure will force Atalanta into reconsidering.
