Atalanta must pay a sell-on fee of 15% to RB Leipzig if they sell Ademola Lookman to Inter Milan.

This according to Italian broadcaster SportMediaset, via FCInterNews.

This is likely to be the decisive day in Inter Milan’s pursuit of Ademola Lookman.

The Nerazzurri made their second offer for the Nigerian international earlier this week. They upped their bid from €40 million to €42 million plus €3 million in add-ons.

Atalanta have not yet given Inter a formal response. But they will give the Nerazzurri their answer today.

A complicating factor in the negotiations is that Atalanta must pay a portion of any fee they receive for Lookman to his former club RB Leipzig.

SportMediaset report that this would be equal to 15% of the fee for the Nigerian’s sale.

That would be a not inconsiderable portion of the total fee.

Therefore, Atalanta have an extra incentive not to go too low with the fee that they accept for Lookman.

Therefore, this could hold things up and cause the Bergamo club not to accept Inter’s most recent offer for the 27-year-old.
