Report – Nigeria Forward Inching Closer To Staying At Atalanta Amid Drawn-Out Talks With Inter Milan | OneFootball

Ademola Lookman could end up staying at Atalanta despite being heavily linked with a move to Inter Milan this summer.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the ongoing discussions are on the brink of collapse.

Indeed, La Dea’s unwillingness to budge on their asking price could deter Inter from reopening negotiations.

Despite Inter’s genuine interest in Ademola Lookman, they’ve been unable to meet Atalanta’s €50 million valuation.

Therefore, the Nigerian could stay in Bergamo against his will.

Lookman has made it abundantly clear that he wants to join Inter.

Furthermore, the San Siro giants have already agreed on personal terms with the player.

Indeed, the 27-year-old has accepted Inter’s €4.5 million net per season contract proposal.

However, unfazed by a verbal agreement between the player and the Nerazzurri, Atalanta continue to drive a hard bargain.

As such, talks have been at a standstill for weeks.

Meanwhile, La Dea wouldn’t mind keeping Lookman next season despite his rebellion against the club.
