Atalanta BC have set plans in motion to replace Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman with the former Everton man closing in on a move to PSG, Soccernet.ng reports.
The future of Ademola Lookman at Atalanta has taken a dramatic turn in recent days, with the Nigerian forward expressing a strong desire to leave the Serie A club.
Lookman is keen on a transfer to Paris Saint-Germain, lured by the prospect of a significantly higher salary.
However, while the interest from the French giants is evident, it remains in the preliminary stages, with no formal offer yet presented to Atalanta.
Lookman’s eagerness to move to PSG has placed Atalanta in a challenging position as the transfer window nears its end.
The Bergamo-based club is well aware of Lookman’s value and would only consider letting him go if a substantial offer, starting at €50 million, is made.
As they wait for PSG to make their move, Atalanta have already begun considering potential replacements for the 25-year-old.
One name that has emerged as a strong candidate is Fiorentina’s Nico Gonzalez, according to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport via Tutto Atalanta.
The Argentine winger, known for his versatility on both flanks, could fill the void left by Lookman’s departure.
What adds an intriguing layer to this potential move is the fact that Gonzalez reportedly has an agreement in place with Juventus.
Snatching Gonzalez from under the noses of their Serie A rivals would not only bolster Atalanta’s squad but also serve as a significant coup against Juventus.
Fiorentina are open to letting Gonzalez leave on loan with an obligation to buy for €30 million, and Atalanta may soon make a decisive move to secure his signature.
