Newcastle United are reportedly keen on signing Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman in the summer transfer window.
The 27-year-old Nigerian is in high demand after a falling out with head coach Gian Piero Gasperini.
Lookman’s contract at Atalanta is set to expire in the summer of 2026, and there is a mutual understanding among all parties that he will not renew the deal. This has sparked a flurry of interest from top clubs, including Liverpool, PSG, and Juventus.
According to Football Insider, Newcastle United are the latest club to express interest in signing Lookman. The Magpies are eager to strengthen their squad and become one of the Premier League’s top teams, and the prospect of forming a dynamic trio with Anthony Gordon, Alexander Isak, and Lookman is an exciting one, and could potentially propel Newcastle to new heights.
Lookman has been in exceptional form this season, scoring 17 goals in 29 games across all competitions, and the reigning CAF Player of the Year could be a significant coup for Eddie Howe’s men.
