How Atalanta Star Will Fit New-Look Inter Milan Formation
Serie A runners-up Inter Milan are working around the clock to sign Atalanta star forward Ademola Lookman. According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Nigerian fits perfectly into Cristian Chivu's new formation. Talks between Atalanta and Inter are ongoing after the Nerazzurri agreed personal terms with the player. Indeed, Ademola Lookman has accepted Inter's five-year contract offer worth €4.5 million net per season. Meanwhile, Atalanta rejected Inter's opening bid, deeming their €40m proposal insufficient. How Ademola Lookman Will Fit New-Look Inter Milan Set-Up Inter will likely stray away from Simone Inzaghi's trademark 3-5-2 set-up next term. Indeed, Chivu plans to make slight adjustments to Inzaghi's formation and switch to a 3-4-2-1. That would see Marcus Thuram drop back, leaving Lautaro Martinez as the only center-forward. Meanwhile, Lookman would likely slot next to the French star behind El Toro. Lookman's speed and one-on-one ability make him an ideal fit for the second line. Therefore, it allows him to exploit spaces and break defenses from the wing. Although Lookman's versatility enables him to play anywhere alongside the frontline, he's most comfortable on the left wing.

Inter's Lookman offer revealed as Atalanta ask for Pio Esposito
Inter are ready to hand Ademola Lookman a contract worth €4 million per season, if the Nigerian forward leaves Atalanta to sign for the Nerazzurri this summer, reports from Italy claim. According to reports from SkySport, Inter are refusing to increase their €40 million bid for the former Fulham player, as they look to use the player's desire to join the club as leverage in negotiations. Meanwhile, Sky are also reporting that in the negotiations, Atalanta enquired about Inter starlet Francesco Pio Esposito. However, Inter consider the young forward to be irreplaceable and responded to La Dea's interest with a firm 'no'. Lookman stalemate has potential to drag on Despite Inter readying a €4 million annual salary for the player, Atalanta's refusal to budge over their €50 million valuation of the player may prove an obstacle in any deal. Cristian Chivu's Nerazzurri side are adamant that they believe €40 million is a fair valuation of the player but the Bergamo side will likely take some convincing.
