Ademola Lookman 'very much interested' in big summer move
Amidst interest from host of top European clubs, Ademola Lookman is very much looking forward to the summer transfer window with the player reportedly keen for a move away from Atalanta, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
Italian football expert, Fabrizio Romano revealed that the reigning CAF player of the year already who will be entering into the final year of his contract when the current season expires has a gentleman agreement concerning his transfer price with the Serie A club following his heroics last season.
Lookman reportedly had a verbal agreement with Atalanta that he would be allowed to leave in 2024 for a fee in the range of €30-35 million. However, as the months passed, that valuation became unrealistic following his heroics in the Europa League final, where he netted a historic hat-trick in a 3-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen.
By the time Paris Saint-Germain put that amount on the table, Atalanta were unwilling to entertain offers and this situation led to a period of unrest with Lookman even skipping training sessions in protest.
Though the tension eventually eased, Romano suggests that Lookman’s desire for a transfer has not faded.
The Super Eagles star who partially trained with the rest of the team on Sunday is expected to feature in the club's crucial UCL clash against Club Brugge this night at the Gewiss Stadium after missing last six (6) encounters due to a knee problem.
