Nigerian striker Ademola Lookman could be on his way to Turkey following reports that an unnamed club has made an offer to sign the Atalanta forward.
The move comes after the 27-year-old was reportedly frozen out of the squad after submitting a transfer request to join Serie A rivals Inter Milan.
With the main European transfer window now closed, the Turkish window remains open until September 12, offering a potential escape route for the out-of-favour African Player of the Year.
Reports in the Turkish press have also confirmed that an offer has been tabled, although there has been no official word from Atalanta.
Lookman, who scored an impressive 20 goals in 41 appearances for the Bergamo outfit last season, remains one of Europe’s most consistent performers.
His situation draws parallels to fellow Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen, who took a loan deal to Turkish champions Galatasaray last year amid a transfer standoff with Napoli.
With no immediate resolution in sight at Atalanta, a move to Turkey could provide a fresh start for the talented winger.
