Lookman, however, seems unwilling to sign for either Napoli or Atletico Madrid, and according to The Pink Paper, he has reiterated that he only wants to join Inter this summer.

Lookman has already shaken hands with Inter over a €4.5m-a-year deal until 2030, with his wages rising to €5m during his stay at San Siro.

Inter remain in talks with Atalanta to lower their €50m asking price and, as reported by our transfer expert Alfredo Pedullà, bonuses will be crucial in negotiations between the two clubs.

Napoli, on the other hand, have signed Noa Lang and Lorenzo Lucca and are planning to sign one more winger this summer.
