Inter keep up the pressure for Lookman: the player wants to leave Atalanta | OneFootball

It is highly likely that Ademola Lookman will no longer be an Atalanta player. Napoli, led by Antonio Conte, were strongly interested in him, but eventually withdrew from the race due to the high demands of the Bergamo club. However, Inter is not giving up, with Marotta wanting to give Chivu a big signing. The request for the Nigerian player is 50 million, with the player wanting to leave Bergamo after 3 seasons and a Europa League title won as a protagonist.

Inter, continues to push for Lookman: the player wants to leave Atalanta

Inter is not giving up on Ademola Lookman. Marotta has identified the Nigerian as the big signing to give to Chivu in an attempt to reconquer Serie A, despite the many doubts about the Nerazzurri after Inzaghi's departure. Napoli was also very interested in the '97 player: it was De Laurentiis himself who moved, but failed to find an agreement on the price with Percassi, whose demands were considered too high. The Nerazzurri are trying to get closer to the demands of the Goddess, who are asking for 50 million to let their fantasist go. In recent days, Marotta has made an offer of 42 million + 3 million in bonuses, for a total of 45 million, which was rejected by Atalanta.

Today, during Ahanor's presentation, Luca Percassi spoke about the negotiations with Inter for the sale of Lookman. These are his words: "Ademola has been expressing his desire to leave Atalanta for some time, in our reasoning, he was the one who was supposed to leave, one sale per year is our philosophy, but the market is unexpected and it happened that Retegui went to Saudi Arabia and it was not in our plans."

Regarding the offer received from the Nerazzurri, he replied: "For Ademola, despite many interests, there was never anything concrete until yesterday when a written proposal arrived, Inter is a very friendly club, yesterday I saw Marotta who is a friend and a great professional. In the next few days, we will evaluate the offer received to give an answer. In any case, the exit times and values are decided only by Atalanta, and no one else. Only the club determines the exit times and methods of a player."
