Report – Optimism Grows As Atalanta Forward Wants Inter Milan Move At All Costs | OneFootball

Atalanta star Ademola Lookman reportedly wants to join Inter Milan at all costs amid a standstill in talks between the two clubs.

According to Sky Sport Deutschland via FCInterNews, the Nigerian forward is pushing for a transfer to San Siro.

Inter and Lookman have already agreed on personal terms.

Indeed, the 27-year-old has accepted a multi-year contract worth around €4.5 million net per season.

However, Cristian Chivu’s men have yet to match Atalanta’s request.

Atalanta’s €50m asking price has been an obstacle so far.

Despite falling short of La Dea’s valuation, Inter’s opening €40m bid laid the groundwork for further negotiations.

Furthermore, the Nerazzurri hope to bridge the gap by including several performance-related bonuses in the deal.

Meanwhile, Cristian Chivu is already making plans for the former RB Leipzig attacker.

The diminutive forward will likely play alongside Marcus Thuram behind Lautaro Martinez in a new 3-4-2-1 set-up.
