Inter won’t increase their opening bid.

Meanwhile, Atalanta’s stance remains uncertain, though La Dea reportedly won’t sell Lookman for less than €50m.

But with the player’s seal of approval, Inter will enter negotiations from a position of strength.

As for Atalanta, they’re waiting for Inter’s move.

Despite earlier interest in Lois Openda and Christopher Nkunku, Lookman is now the club’s top target.

However, the San Siro club must first sort out the future of Mehdi Taremi.

The Iranian has drawn interest from Besiktas and several Premier League sides.
