Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid could engage in a transfer tug-of-war for Ademola Lookman and Nicolas Gonzalez.
According to Sky Sport via FCInterNews, both clubs are keen to sign the Atalanta and Juventus stars.
Los Rojiblancos’ interest could spoil Inter Milan’s hopes of signing Ademola Lookman.
However, Cristian Chivu’s men have taken the lead in the race by agreeing personal terms with the Nigerian.
Yet, Atletico’s involvement could change the dynamics.
Atletico Madrid & Inter Milan Set to Fight for Ademola Lookman & Nicolas Gonzalez
Nicolas Gonzalez has emerged as the first alternative for Lookman.
Despite joining Juventus only last summer, the Argentine could be on his way out this summer.
Indeed, he has failed to settle in Turin, making the Bianconeri consider selling him after just one season.
Meanwhile, Inter’s new formation under Chivu would suit the former Fiorentina winger.
Yet, Lookman remains the club’s top priority, with the Nerazzurri ready to launch a €40 million offer.
On the other hand, Atalanta probably won’t let him leave for less than €50m.
Can’t belive what am i reading in the comments… Lookman is 27 years old and one of the best strikers in Italy. Our new formation is 3-4-2-1 so Lookman is the best choice we could have made… Also weaken Atalanta without Retegui, Lookman and Gasperini they wont be a threat anymore…
It’s not really exciting, he’s good but he’s not great and for $50M it’s overpriced. He’s not old by any means but he’s not young either, to me young players are 25 and under. 27 and up if you pay a lot of money you won’t get your money back in couple years if the player don’t perform
Ausilio has no direction, spent 70mill to buy backup players at 30 mill each, he should focus on getting the key players first, Lookman Ederson Leoni, sell fringe players to buy backup players and wrap it up, now Atalanta may refuse to sell if they couldn’t find replacement in time
Bruh, many fans here hate cheap or old or incompetent back up. Im all for expensive back up coz i want quality game play every time i watch inter
this is a good signing if it happens but i wish we would have gone for someone younger like eliesse ben seghir but atleast mkhi wont be a starter anymore
if Master siffu want to play with 2 man behind striker, why were not try to sign chiesa?
why, why Lookman. So Pio will be benchwarmers?
I don’t understand these management
If we do 3421, he’ll play CAM/CF with Thuram under Lauti. Pio will be backup for Lauti
this kinda news is called rumor. don’t believe what media says immediately, be smart!
I agree with you but was just answering the “where would he fit in” question. Who knows though rumors say we agreed personal terms and generally IF that is true that means the deal one day or another would close, cause the actual player wants to leave
no it’s not
it’s even on Gazetta now
Two different set of players. No one will pass on Lookman if given the chance and I think considering everyone else is making some signings for their squad so far Inter were not even linked to a single high profile player.
