Inter Milan are planning to raise their offer for Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman to €45 million next week.
This according to Corriere dello Sport editor Ivan Zazzaroni. he reports in an Instagram post that the Nerazzurri have a budget of €100 million for the summer from Oaktree Capital, and will prioritize Lookman.
Inter Milan are pushing to sign Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman. The Nigerian international is their top target in attack this summer.
The Nerazzurri have already made an offer to Atalanta for Lookman.
La Dea have rejected the initial bid, which Inter have not yet increased. However, the player himself reportedly wants to join.
Widespread reports indicate that Inter’s first offer to Atalanta was for €40 million.
Atalanta, on the other hand, are reportedly holding out for around €50 million.
Inter To Raise Offer To Atalanta For Ademola Lookman To €45M Next Week
Corriere dello Sport editor Ivan Zazzaroni anticipates that Inter will increase their bid soon.
Zazzaroni, who had initially reported that Inter are working to sign Lookman last week, wrote in an Instagram post that “Oaktree have made €100 million available to Marotta and Ausilio for transfers.”

“Lookman is their priority target,” he adds.
Zazzaroni predicts that “next week Inter will raise their offer to €45 million.”
“Then the ball will be in Percassi’s court,” he adds, referring to the Atalanta CEO. “And that of Lookman himself.”
We shouldn’t pay a penny over 45M he’s 28 when the season begins and 29 after first season. We will never get our money back if he flops.
It’s a big gamble, but I hope we get him. But it has to be reasonable
I think inter will end up signing Lookman. The club have made sales through Buchanan and Stankovich, therefore there is extra cash to see this deal through. In my opinion, the difference of 10 million isn’t much.
It may be more difficult signing Leoni who is valued at 70 million by Parma.
next article its gonna say next month and then it will fall through and we end up signing jadon sancho
i dont know why it have to take so long. if you already know it now why wait a week.
Why can’t it just have a happy ending to this saga. Inter offer 45 mil and Atalanta accept because of the player’s wish. Some clubs over do it sometimes.
