Ademola Lookman has reportedly been offered to Premier League clubs after Inter Milan deal collapsed. The Nerazzurri no longer consider the attack a priority, and are focusing on midfield.
Softfootball understood that Inter have been chasing Ademola Lookman for almost five weeks now. The transfer saga between the Nerazzurri, the Nigerian international, and Atalanta has become the transfer soap opera of the summer in Serie A.
Inter had made two offers for Lookman. First they bid €40 million. Then, they increased their offer to €45 million including add-ons but Atalanata refused to bulge.
The 27-year-old has publicly demanded a transfer. He has also has not been showing up for Atalanta training since the start of August. However, Inter are finally bringing an end to this transfer saga.
It has now been weeks without any progress to sign Lookman. And the Nerazzurri feel that they have more pressing needs than signing a big name forward. Inter will shift their focus to trying to bring in a midfielder who provides balance to the team.
Now According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, he reports via his Facebook Page that Lookman has been offered tp Premier League clubs, and the deal with Inter is now completely off. His post reads:
“BREAKING: Ademola Lookman has been OFFERED TO PREMIER LEAGUE CLUBS.
The deal with Inter is now completely off… who should go and SIGN him?”.
Lookman’s standout performances last season earned him Africa’s Best Player of the Year award. One of his most memorable performances included a hat-trick in Atalanta’s Europa League win. It drew interest across Europe, but Inter’s withdrawal leaves his situation uncertain.
For now, Ademola Lookman continues to train separately in Portugal while awaiting further clarity. With the transfer window deadline fast approaching, his options appear increasingly limited unless a new suitor emerges willing to meet Atalanta’s demands.
