Alfred Pedulla believes that it’s “false” that Inter Milan don’t know the price tag to sign Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman.
Pedulla claimed on his YouTube channel that the Nerazzurri are actually aware of what they would need to pay to sign the 27-year-old.
Inter Milan are trying to sign Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman.
The Nerazzurri have already made two offers for the Nigerian international. They have bid €40 million, which they then increased to €45 million including add-ons.
However, Atalanta have rejected both of these offers from Inter.
Therefore, reports have suggested that Inter are waiting for Atalanta to make them a clear counteroffer.
This would be something to base a third offer on. Or, in the event that it is out of reach, to walk away from the table.
Pedulla: “False That Inter Don’t Know Price Tag” For Ademola Lookman
SportItalia transfer market expert Alfredo Pedulla claimed that “If Lookman wanted to, he could move to a team abroad in five seconds.”
“He doesn’t need any intermediaries for that,” he added.
“Surely there are teams that spend big money who could sign him,” Pedulla added.
“The story of a €53-56 million valuation isn’t true,” he added. “And it’s absolutely false that Inter don’t know the price tag.”
next summer Lookman’s price will be around 20 mln
There is a pecking order in football. At the top there are the elite teams that can double and triple a player’s wages when their skills and ambitions climb to such heights. Then there are clubs like Atalanta that cannot match the wages and don’t block the player from cashing in. Instead they get paid a huge transfer fee to re-cycle into their player development program which Atalanta does very well. With Sartori and Gasperini gone, this might be the last time that Atalanta qualifies for the Champions League as the young talent world-wide takes note of Atalanta’s treatment of Lookman, all for the sake of 5 million euros.
Well put
