Inter Milan is moving quickly to thwart Atlético de Madrid's plans with Ademola Lookman. The Nigerian forward, one of the most sought-after names in the market after his spectacular season at Atalanta, is getting closer to wearing the nerazzurri colors. While the Madrid club had made progress in the bid for the winger, reports from Italy confirm that Inter already has the player's "yes" to finalize the deal. Cristian Chivu's project and the continuity in Serie A weighed more than the Madrid proposal.
Inter's camp is handling a figure of 40 million euros to convince Atalanta to part ways with one of their key assets. The club in Bergamo is aware of Lookman's value after an outstanding season, so the nerazzurri offer meets the economic expectations required for negotiations to begin.
Inter Milan wants to sign Ademola Lookman
Chivu aims to strengthen the attack amid the possibility of Marcus Thuram leaving the team in the coming weeks, a departure that has been heavily rumored. In addition, Lookman would also be an important alternative to complement Lautaro Martínez, indisputable in the offensive line but in need of a partner of the same caliber to face the challenges of the new season.
Meanwhile, Atlético de Madrid still holds hope, but the scenario is becoming more complicated. Simeone saw Lookman as the ideal profile to bring dynamism to the rojiblanco attack, although now everything points to Inter taking the definitive lead in the race for his signing.
