Plettenberg reports that Atalanta director Berta ‘is holding numerous talks’ before the official start of the summer transfer window on July 1.

Italian sources already reported earlier this week that Atalanta would be listening to offers above €40m for Lookman this summer.

The Nigeria international could make his final appearance for La Dea on Sunday, when the Nerazzurri host strugglers Parma at the Gewiss Stadium.

Lookman has scored 20 goals and provided seven assists in 39 games across all competitions this season.

Lookman, 27, has also been linked with a move to Juventus, but the Bianconeri have many other transfer targets in attack, including Victor Osimhen, Viktor Gyokeres, Lorenzo Lucca, Mateo Retegui and Rasmus Hojlund.
