Indeed, they've been hoping to drive the price down.
Although their opening €40m opening bid fell short of Atalanta's demands, the deal looks likely.
However, Lookman's desire to continue his career at San Siro has made La Dea change their stance.
They're now open to selling the Nigerian star for €45m. That's an acceptable figure for Inter.

Mainz's Hong Hyun-seok set for Ligue 1 loan
Kicker reports that Mainz midfielder Hong Hyun-seok is set to be loaned out to Nantes. The 14-times-caped Taeguk international only just joined his current Bundesliga outfit from KAA Gent last season. After starting his initial four Bundesliga fixtures under Mainz head coach Bo Henriksen, Hong didn't earn another league start after September of 2024. Hong wrapped up the 2024/25 campaign with 23 league appearances, 19 of them coming in relief. The South Korean's estimated market value plummeted from €9m to €3.5m over the last twelve months. Mainz paid Gent €4m to acquire Hong from the Belgian Pro League side last autumn. He was the German club's most expensive summer signing. Hong never really managed to catch on in the way intended with the Palatinate Club. South Korean teammate Lee Jae-sung continued to thrive while Hong simply couldn't gain traction. Paul Nebel's rise, along with the summer additions of Benedict Hollerbach and Sota Kawasaki, further diminished Hong's prospects of gaining playing time. Kicker reports that Mainz are set to net a €400,000 loan fee as part of the transaction. Hong remains under contract with the Rheinhessen until 2028. Mainz sporting CEO Christian Heidel has directly confirmed Hong's impending loan out to the German magazine. GGFN |

England triumph is most-watched TV moment of 2025
England's dramatic Euro 2025 final victory against Spain was the most watched television moment of the year so far, with a peak live audience of 12.2 million across all BBC platforms. Sarina Wiegman's side retained their title by defeating the world champions on penalties after a 1-1 draw in Basel, Switzerland. Chloe Kelly, who had scored the extra-time winner in the Euro 2022 final against Germany at Wembley, converted the decisive spot-kick to seal victory, while England keeper Hannah Hampton saved two Spain penalties. The Lionesses' victory peaked at 11.6 million on BBC One - 59% of all TV audiences - in a match also shown on ITV. There were an additional 4.2 million streams of the match on BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website and app, while BBC Sport's live page had 11.4 million views. Overall, the BBC's TV coverage of the tournament reached an audience of 22.1 million and there were 231 million total views across BBC Sport's social media accounts. "This final was a landmark moment in sporting history," said BBC director of sport Alex Kay-Jelski. "The kind of moment people will remember exactly where they were when they watched it. "The incredible Lionesses took us on an emotional rollercoaster, and millions were hooked on BBC coverage from start to finish - from live streaming post-match analysis to millions following our live page and younger audiences in huge numbers on social media."

Jim Harbaugh: We have to get on Justin Herbert's level
Jim Harbaugh made no secret of his fondness for quarterback Justin Herbert during his first season as the head coach of the Chargers and his second season is starting with more of the same. Harbaugh called Herbert one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game this offseason and his answer to a question about Herbert's biggest weakness centered on Herbert's talent as well. During an appearance on NFL Network this weekend, Harbaugh said that the only thing holding Herbert back is that everyone around him doesn't operate in the same stratosphere. "This is the truth, Justin Herbert's biggest weakness is all of those that he's counting on on offense — coaches, offensive line, playmakers, receivers, running backs — to get up to his level," Harbaugh said. "I wake up every day to try to get to his level. . . . I see him at the level, just the highest level as a quarterback. First five seasons, nobody's thrown for more yards in the history of the NFL, and everything he does is, you just don't change a thing, but whatever it is, conditioning, it's too easy. Everything we do, we try to pull him back, because you never have to talk him into doing anything. He's been in here every day." Herbert's talent has not led the Chargers to playoff success since he's been with the team and that makes Harbaugh's biggest task for 2025 a clear one. The players that make up the rest of the offensive group may not be on the same plane as the quarterback, but that's been true of plenty of other successful teams and it's up to Harbaugh and his staff to find the mix that shows Herbert's raw talent is matched with winning instincts that makes the sum greater than the individual parts.
