Serie A outfit, Atalanta, is holding firm on a €50m asking price for Nigerian striker Ademola Lookman, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

The Italian club, also known as La Dea, has refused to budge on the fee, despite interest from Galatasaray.

Galatasaray are keen to bring Lookman to Turkey, where he would be reunited with international teammate Victor Osimhen, who is reportedly trying to persuade the winger to join him.

Lookman has struggled to make an impact at Atalanta this season, having pushed to leave the Bergamo club in the summer.

The 26-year-old's contract with Atalanta runs until 2027, but the club is open to selling him in January if the right offer comes along.

Galatasaray will have to dig deep to meet Atalanta's demands, with Lookman's current form not quite living up to his €50m valuation.
