Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman is eager to complete his heavily anticipated transfer to Inter Milan.
According to Sportitalia via FCInterNews, the 27-year-old has promised to join the Nerazzurri this summer.
Despite Paris Saint-Germain’s late attempt to lure him to France last summer, Lookman stayed in Bergamo.
However, Atalanta vowed to sell the versatile forward then for the right price.
Fast forward 12 months, and Ademola Lookman intends to make good on that promise.
Atalanta Star Ademola Lookman to Force Inter Milan Move
Talks between Atalanta and Inter Milan are ongoing despite a €10 million gap between the offer and demands.
Indeed, Inter’s opening €40m bid failed to satisfy La Dea’s appetites, as they hold out for a €50m asking price.
Yet, Lookman’s desire to continue his career at San Siro could be a game-changer.
Moreover, the ex-RB Leipzig forward rejected Napoli’s offer out of respect for his promise to Inter.
Therefore, the pressure is on Atalanta, with both teams seeking a quick resolution so they can move on.
I think in the end we will get him for 45M total, but remember he will be 28 years old in couple months, so the season after he will be 29 in fall and so if he is not performing well we can’t ever sell him for 45M to get our money back, it’s a big gamble. I don’t think we should pay more than 40M for him, he’s good but not great, if he comes I”ll be happy and also if he don’t come.
However, I truly believe we should not sell hakan, he’s world class on penalties, set pieces and long shots. Plus he has good vision and passing (he benched brozo) and I don’t think we will be able to find a player on his level for less than 50M
