Transfer Tug-of-War: Inter Milan’s €45m Bid for Ademola Lookman Rejected by Atalanta
The chase for Ademola Lookman is heating up as Inter Milan submitted a fresh €40 million plus €5 million in add-ons offer to Atalanta — but the bid has been rejected, according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano.
Despite having agreed personal terms with Inter Milan, Lookman’s move remains on hold as Atalanta stands firm, demanding no less than €50 million to part ways with their prized Nigerian winger.
🔥 Key Transfer Details:
✅ Inter Milan have made multiple offers — latest worth €45m total.
❌ Atalanta remains unmoved, holding out for a minimum €50m.
🤝 Lookman is eager to join the Serie A giants and has agreed personal terms.
⏳ Inter Milan want the deal finalized this week as the new season approaches.
⚽ Why Lookman Is in High Demand
Lookman has enjoyed a career resurgence in Italy, especially after his standout performances for Atalanta last season, where he delivered goals, assists, and creativity consistently. His recent success with Nigeria at the AFCON, coupled with his explosive pace and dribbling ability, has made him one of the most sought-after wingers in Europe.
For Inter, his addition would bring versatility, experience, and a much-needed attacking edge, especially as they gear up to defend their Serie A crown.
💬 Opinion — A Deal That Needs Finishing
Inter Milan’s interest is clear, and Lookman wants the move — now it comes down to whether Inter can meet Atalanta’s valuation or include structured bonuses to sweeten the deal.
From a football perspective, Lookman fits perfectly into Inter’s attacking setup, and his arrival could be a game-changer for the Nerazzurri. Atalanta, however, are within their rights to hold firm — a player of his calibre, especially in this inflated market, deserves top dollar.
🔍 All eyes are now on Inter’s next move. Will they raise the offer, or risk missing out?
