Serie A giants Inter Milan have reportedly lodged an official offer for Atalanta star forward Ademola Lookman.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Nerazzurri submitted a written proposal, hoping it would convince La Dea to accept the deal.
Beppe Marotta and Luca Percassi met face-to-face earlier today.
Indeed, the Inter president took the opportunity to communicate Inter’s second offer to the Atalanta chief.
However, the latter refused to respond until he received the offer in written form.

Inter Milan didn’t waste much time. Instead, they’ve acted swiftly, compiling a formal bid worth €45 million.
However, Atalanta would get €42 million upfront, with the remaining €3 million divided between performance-related bonuses.
Though Inter’s second offer is still below Atalanta’s €50 million asking price, there’s a feeling it will seal the deal.
Indeed, Atalanta cannot afford to play harball for much longer, as Ademola Lookman wants to join Inter.
Furthermore, Inter’s latest bid has an expiration date, giving La Dea a limited time to respond.
