Share
- Liverpool, Manchester United, and Arsenal are interested in signing Ademola Lookman from Atalanta.
- Atalanta may sell Lookman if he doesn't sign a new contract, with the club valuing him at up to €80 million.
English Premier League giants Liverpool, Manchester United, and Arsenal for the signature of Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman, as per an update from Italian transfer market reporter Nicolo Schira.
The 27-year-old Atalanta striker has been in impressive form, sparking interest from top clubs across Europe.
Lookman's current deal with Atalanta runs out at the end of next season, and the Italian club is facing a challenging task in convincing him to sign an extension.
With his contract situation uncertain, Atalanta President Antonio Percassi has admitted that the club may have to sell Lookman if he doesn't commit to a new deal.
The 71-year-old also confirmed that Atalanta wants to keep Lookman, but the club's resolve will be tested by the interest from Liverpool, Manchester United, and Arsenal.
"We'll do all we can, but he must not stay against his will. After all, we have already replaced Zapata, Muriel and Gomez." Percassi told Corriere Della Sera.
Lookman's valuation on Transfermarkt stands at €55 million, but Atalanta could demand up to €80 million before letting him leave.
The Nigerian striker will also be looking to join a bigger club and add some silverware to his cabinet.
#Percassi al CorSera: “Faremo di tutto a fine stagione per trattenere #Lookman, ma non deve restare controvoglia. In fondo abbiamo sostituto Zapata, Papu Gomez, Muriel…”.
