Saudi Arabian club Al Ittihad could challenge Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United for the signing of Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman this summer, Soccernet.ng reports.
Lookman had an impressive campaign at Atalanta last season. The 26-year-old forward registered 17 goals and ten assists in 45 appearances across all competitions for La Dea.
However, he turned heads with his performance in the final of the UEFA Europa League, where he scored a hattrick for Atalanta to help them to a comprehensive 3-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen, who had gone unbeaten throughout the entire season.
Following his impressive displays for La Dea, Lookman has emerged as a transfer target for some top clubs in Europe. Sides like Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United have shown some interest in the former Everton man.
But it appears the top European clubs are not the only ones interested in Lookman. According to ABO OMAR, Al Ittihad have contacted Atalanta concerning the possibility of signing Lookman, but nothing concrete has come out yet.
Lookman is valued at €40 million on Transfermarkt, but it would cost Al Ittihad up to €60 million to convince Atalanta to let him leave.
Meanwhile, Lookman favors a transfer to the Premier League. Only a bumper contract would turn his head.
