Atalanta are not willing to part ways with their star for less than €50 million. Atletico Madrid are also in the running for the 27-year-old Nigerian international, which could further raise his price.
Last season, Ademola Lookman finished joint third in the Serie A scoring chart with 15 goals in 31 matches. He also stood out in the Champions League, netting five goals in seven appearances.
Meanwhile, according to Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter is leading the race for Granit Xhaka, but official negotiations with Bayer Leverkusen will only begin once Hakan Calhanoglu’s future is clarified.
The potential transfer of the Swiss midfielder to the Nerazzurri depends entirely on whether and where the Turkish international will be sold.
