Inter Milan are no longer interested in Atalanta star Ademola Lookman after setting their sights on Hellas Verona youngster Giovane.
According to Tuttosport via FCInter1908, the San Siro giants have abandoned their pursuit of the Nigerian forward
Inter’s relentless effort to sign Ademola Lookman was among the major talking points during the summer transfer window.
However, a long-running transfer saga failed to come to fruition as Atalanta refused to negotiate the 28-year-old’s exit.
Inter Milan Turn to Giovane After Quitting Lookman Pursuit
Though Inter were ready to splash around €45 million to acquire Lookman’s services, it wasn’t enough to convince Atalanta to sanction the transfer.
Therefore, the Nerazzurri decided to pull the plug on the deal.
Furthermore, with Oaktree setting a new transfer policy, Lookman no longer fits the bill.
Meanwhile, Giovane has now emerged as a better suited profile, especially after his remarkable performance on Sunday.
Indeed, the 21-year-old Brazilian scored his first Serie A goal in Verona’s 2-1 home defeat to none other than Inter.
Giovane’s impressive performance didn’t go unnoticed, with Inter adding him to their wishlist.
We should go for Martinelli the guy is not having much playing time at Arsenal.
Lookman would be busy for Nigeria playing for the world cup qualifying playoff.
Inter should continue their pursuit of Lookman, they would be crazy not to. Let’s face it they need consistent scoring up front and while I like Lautaro he often disappears for many games on end. Lookman gives them the consistency. Also Frattesi should be given a true chance to play and see what he has.
so you think lookman scores more than lautaro?
Some of our fans are use to Teremi and arnatovic kind of older players and are always skeptical of featuring younger players in the team, it’s clear we don’t have Liverpool and Madrid kind of money to spend during summer transfers so it will be stupid for us not to go for these younger talents.. we all can see what Como are doing and if care is not taking Como will be fighting for scudetto in a few years time as they have entrusted their faith in youth
Inter have to be stupid not to go back in for lookman. Inter need a new type of forward not some unknown youth. Esposito not even good enough for this level. The only thing he does is throw himself to the ground more often than not….
Really? If we don’t give any chances to our youngster we will go back to our banter era with the likes of Schelotto, Jonny, Naga and co.
we need dribbler attacker.
