Inter give Atalanta deadline for Lookman decision by weekend | OneFootball

The future of Ademola Lookman is at the center of the summer market and, after weeks of negotiations, Inter has decided to make its final move. The Nerazzurri club has made a formal offer to Atalanta: 42 million euros plus 3 million in bonuses.

Atalanta, Inter's ultimatum for Lookman: the Goddess must decide by the weekend

A definitive proposal, considered non-negotiable, which marks a turning point in the strategy of the Milanese club.

Inter awaits a response: time until the end of the weekend According to Corriere dello Sport, Inter has imposed a clear deadline: by the end of the weekend, Atalanta's management will have to communicate its decision. In case of a negative response, Marotta and Ausilio will turn to other profiles without raising the current offer. It is therefore a crucial phase of the negotiation, which could determine the future of the Nigerian striker in the next 48 hours.

Atalanta's strategy: evaluations underway and plan B already ready In Bergamo, the club's position remains firm. Atalanta has no intention of selling one of its most decisive players and is taking all the time possible to evaluate Inter's offer, aware that it can still maximize the value of the sale.

In the meantime, the Orobici managers are actively working to be ready in case of Lookman's departure. The name at the top of the list of substitutes is that of Emile Smith Rowe, Marseille's attacking winger, considered the most suitable profile to fit into Ivan Juric's game system. In the background, the option of Federico Chiesa also remains: a more complicated hypothesis on an economic level, which would require a significant downsizing of the requests of the white and black winger, or the intervention of Liverpool willing to take on part of the salary in case of a loan.

A negotiation that recalls the "Koopmeiners case" The Lookman case brings to mind what happened last summer with Teun Koopmeiners, who ended up at Juventus after a long negotiation in which Atalanta managed to maintain its position until the end, managing to obtain advantageous conditions. The scenario could repeat itself this year, with the Percassi family determined not to compromise.

Time is running out. Inter is waiting, Atalanta is reflecting, Lookman is in limbo. But one thing is certain: within a few days, the summer soap opera is destined to know its first, important epilogue.
