Premier League
Inter Milan is very clear on what should be their next big move in the market: Ademola Lookman. The Atalanta forward has become an absolute priority to strengthen an offensive line that still needs individual imbalance and flair, aspects that the Nigerian excels in.
Despite already presenting Luis Henrique and Luka Sucic during the Club World Cup, and closing the signing of young Ange-Yoan Bonn, the nerazzurri team believes Lookman is the quality leap missing in their squad. The issue, as expected, lies in the figures. Inter initially proposed an offer close to 40 million euros, structured as a loan with mandatory purchase, but it was quickly rejected by Atalanta's management.
Inter could secure his signing by increasing their offer
The Bergamo club, supported by the Percassi family and sports director Tony D’Amico, deems that figure insufficient. According to 'Calciomercato', they would be willing to consider an offer around 42-43 million fixed plus variables. Although Zingonia insists that this new attempt would also fall short of the player's real value, internally they acknowledge that it could open a door if the bonuses were easily achievable.
Meanwhile, Lookman, who is recovering from a muscle injury, has made it clear that he wants to wear the Inter shirt. He has even turned down other options, like Atletico Madrid, hoping that his current club will agree to his transfer to Milan.
