Alfredo Pedulla believes Inter Milan will have to sign Ademola Lookman before a “deadline” for July 31st.
The SportItalia transfer market expert reported, via FCInter1908, that the Nerazzurri will aim to raise their offer for the Atalanta forward to €45 million with a couple notable sales.
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.
Pedulla: July 31st The “Deadline” For Inter To Sign Ademola Lookman
SportItalia transfer expert Alfredo Pedulla notes that “Inter have built up a nest egg with the sales of Buchanan and Stankovic.”
Furthermore, he added that “there’s a deadline for Lookman: July 31st.”
“The current silence is just part of the chess match that the two sides are playing. Inter know that they have to increase their offer.”
Pedulla furthermore anticipated that “there’s no doubt that there are other clubs interested in Lookman.”
“But he’ll wait for Inter,” he added.
“The €20 million Inter are bringing in [by selling Buchanan and Stankovic] could allow them to increase their offer to Atalanta to €45 million. Maybe with the inclusion of some add-ons.”
50M is too much for him he’s 28 in couple months and after one season with us 29; if he fails no one will ever pay that money we paid for him.
40M I’m ok with but 45M is a bit steep; it should be with add ons (somewhat hard to achieve, Iike ucl finalist in next 2 years, scudetto winner next season, and lookman scoring double digits first season)
I really don’t know why Inter is playing games with this deal. Lookman signing will most definitely be a statement signing. Why this game for crying out loud?
He just can’t afford to miss out on this golden opportunity!
He is a different prospect with different characteristics from our other strikers which makes him even more desirous.
Marotta and Ausillio should get this deal over
He is definitely need considering most of the goals came from Lautaro and Thuram alone which puts a big burden on them to score. I think thats why Chivu wants multiple options in their attack to bring more scoring options in the game. The good thing is Lookman is a dribbler that brings in assist along with goals. This buy needs to happen.
and because bonny isn’t goalscorer very much
It has to be done by early-mid next week or we run a massive risk of someone else swooping in. Same with Leoni if we are all in on him.
