Report – Atalanta Star Prefers Inter Milan Over Napoli But Improved Offer Required | OneFootball

Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman prioritizes a move to Inter Milan over Napoli amid stalled negotiations between the clubs.

According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, the 27-year-old has chosen San Siro as his next destination.

Napoli’s desperate attempt to beat Inter to the Nigerian’s signature has so far proven unsuccessful.

Indeed, Ademola Lookman remains firm in his preference for the Nerazzurri.

However, talks between Atalanta and Inter are at a standstill.

With Atalanta unwilling to budge on their €50m valuation, Lookman’s stance could play a crucial role in unlocking the deal.

Meanwhile, there’s a feeling that Inter’s opening €40m bid won’t be enough to get La Dea’s green light.

Instead, the Nerazzurri will likely have to improve their proposal to convince the Bergamo outfit to sell.

Therefore, Oaktree Capital may need to approve another substantial offer.

Whether an additional few million would be enough remains uncertain, given Atalanta’s strict transfer policy.

Indeed, they’ve become notorious for driving a hard bargain, especially when it comes to selling key players to direct rivals.
