Ademola Lookman Prioritizes Inter Move as Club Talks Continue

Ademola Lookman wants to join Inter this summer. He has agreed to personal terms with the Milan club, while Inter and Atalanta discuss a transfer fee. Lookman has specifically communicated his desire to leave Atalanta and join Inter Milan, as confirmed in a recent report according to multiple sources.

INTER AND ATALANTA LOCKED IN TALKS

Lookman wants to join Inter and has agreed to a contract worth 4 million euros per year, with potential incentives bringing it up to 5 million euros. He turned down a higher offer from Napoli, focusing solely on a move to Inter. Clubs are discussing the transfer, with Inter’s latest bid at £44 million ($53 million), while Atalanta is holding firm on their asking price as per reports.

LOOKMAN’S STANDOUT SEASON AND THE STAKES FOR BOTH CLUBS

Lookman was essential to Atalanta’s strong season. He scored 13 goals and provided eight assists in Serie A, helping Atalanta secure third place, thus qualifying for the Champions League as noted in recent updates. Inter finished second, just behind winners Napoli, and want to improve their attack after losing the Champions League final to Paris Saint-Germain. In signing Lookman, Inter hopes to add extra goal threat ahead of a title challenge both domestically and in Europe.

WHAT NEXT AS THE SEASON APPROACHES

Inter are pushing to finalize Lookman’s signing before the new season begins. Their first Serie A match is against Parma, who finished mid-table last season. If Lookman departs, Atalanta may seek a replacement; players like Nico Gonzalez have already been linked with them. The focus remains on whether Inter can bridge the financial gap and secure Lookman’s signature as they aim to overtake Juventus in the coming campaign.
