2024 UEFA Europa League winners Atalanta have set their sights on Ghana winger Kamaldeen Sulemana as a replacement for Ademola Lookman, Soccernet.ng reports.
The 23-year-old joined La Dea for €17m from Southampton on a four-year contract with the option to extend for another year included.
Lookman, on the other hand, is keen on heading to Inter Milan after rejecting Napoli. The Nerazzuri submitted a new €45m plus add-ons offer to Atalanta and are now waiting for a response. The players' willingness to leave will play a huge role in bringing the deal to fruition.

Sulemana wants to learn from Lookman
Sulemana has kicked off pre-season preparations with Ivan Juric's side, even drawing praise from the former Southampton coach.
“Sulemana has entered well, he is awake in accelerations and shots. He is a boy to be built, but he has a great desire to grow.
“In my opinion, he is a guy who needs to be developed. He is not a finished player,” the Croatian gaffer said.

“I want to clarify that I did not come to replace Ademola Lookman,” the former Stade-Rennais winger said in quotes revealed by Inter News.
“He’s a great player from whom I want to learn a lot. I’m here to play with him and with the others, to help the team do better and better.”
Atalanta are preparing for life without the 2024 CAF Player of the Year who might be heading to the San Siro anytime from now.
