On the other hand, Lookman has already agreed to personal terms with the Serie A giants, and his priority is to move to San Siro this summer.

Negotiations between the two clubs will continue in the coming days, and even if Lookman is not yet openly pushing to join Inter, the situation could change in the coming weeks, seeing the player trying to force a move to San Siro, hoping to convince his club to lower their demands.
