AFCON 2025
Atalanta have taken a firm stance on Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman, stating he’ll only depart this summer for a substantial offer.
The Serie A club won’t consider bids below their €45m-€50m valuation for the 2024 African Footballer of the Year, per Italian outlet Le Bombe di Vlad.
“Atalanta have already drawn a very clear line: Lookman will only leave Zingonia in the event of a major offer, well above €30m,” the report stated.
“The valuation is between €45m and €50m, a figure justified by the player’s consistent performance, including his impact in big matches last season.”
Despite interest from top clubs like Arsenal, Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus, and Napoli, no offer has met Atalanta’s demands.
Barcelona see Lookman as an ideal addition to their attack, but fell short with their approach. Arsenal have reignited their pursuit of the ex-RB Leipzig winger, while Napoli have entered the race late, and Juventus are keeping tabs.
Lookman’s deal expires in the summer of 2026, but Atalanta are seemingly under no pressure to sell and view him as key to new manager Ivan Juric’s plans.
