According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter do not feel that they can wait much longer.

The Nerazzurri are also considering the opportunity to sign Roma midfielder Manu Kone.

Therefore, the Nerazzurri could decide to invest a fee north of €40 million in that deal rather than one for Lookman.

As such, the Gazzetta report, Inter will make clear to Atalanta that they can’t have many more delays.

If a deal for Lookman is not unlocked within a few weeks, the newspaper anticipate, Inter will definitively move on from their pursuit of Lookman.
