Ademola Lookman is keen on leaving Atalanta this summer, with only Inter Milan set on his mind…
2010 UEFA Champions League winners Inter Milan are preparing a new bid for Super Eagles and Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman, Soccernet.ng reports.
The Nerazzuri have already agreed to personal terms with the 27-year-old to move to San Siro on a five-year deal that'll see him earn €4m annually.
However, La Dea wants to keep him in Bergamo beyond the summer of 2026, and have already offered him a new deal which he rejected.
Atalanta rejected Inter's first offer of €40m and are holding out for a fee in excess of around €50m to let the 2024 CAF Player of the Year join the Serie A giants.
Inter set to launch new offer for Lookman
As per FCInterNews, Christian Chivu's side are set to make a decisive new bid for the former RB Leipzig man tomorrow.
The UEFA Champions League finalists have made the 27-year-old versatile attacker their primary target despite doubts from their former captain.
While Atalanta wants €50m for Lookman, Inter's new offer will be around €45 million with add-ons. It could be €43 million up front, plus a couple of million more in add-ons.
The Nerazzurri are hoping that by essentially splitting the difference between their initial bid and Atalanta’s counteroffer, they can wrap things up quickly.
The plan is to submit a bid tomorrow when all parties involved meet before the Lega Serie A assembly.
Inter are hopeful their improved offer will be accepted by Atalanta, largely because the player is willing to force a move as well.
