Galatasaray is pushing for Ademola Lookman, but Atalanta is firm on a transfer fee of 50 million euros. Although it has been claimed that Osimhen has convinced the player, Atalanta is not backing down, just like in the Inter transfer. Lookman's departure seems unlikely without the acceptance of Galatasaray's offer.
Important news has come from Italy regarding Ademola Lookman, who has been on Galatasaray's transfer agenda for a while. It was known that the 28-year-old Nigerian star, who plays for Atalanta, wanted to leave the club last summer, but his transfer to Inter did not happen due to the high transfer fee. This time, Galatasaray has stepped in, but Atalanta's stance has not changed.
THE PLAYER WANTS TO LEAVE, OSIMHEN FACTOR IS ALSO IN PLAY
Lookman's issues at Atalanta have strengthened his desire to leave, while his friend from the Nigeria National Team, Victor Osimhen, is also playing an important role in this transfer. It is claimed that Osimhen has seriously encouraged Lookman to join Galatasaray.
It was reported that the yellow-reds offered Lookman an annual salary of 9 million euros and that the player responded positively to this offer. While it was stated that there are no issues from the player's side, all eyes are now on the Atalanta management.
CLEAR MESSAGE FROM ATALANTA: PAYING THE FEE GETS THE PLAYER
It was announced by La Gazzetta dello Sport that the transfer fee set by the Italian giant Atalanta for Lookman is 50 million euros and that they will not back down from this amount.
The report highlighted the statement, "The policy in Bergamo does not change: only a very good offer will be accepted if it does not weaken the technical project."
Although it was mentioned that Galatasaray is trying to leverage the Osimhen effect, it was clearly emphasized that Atalanta would not be swayed by these pressures and that the transfer would not happen unless the transfer fee is met.
SAME ATTITUDE IN INTER TRANSFER
It was recalled that Lookman wanted to transfer to Inter last summer, but Atalanta also did not back down from 50 million euros. It was stated that the Bergamo team's determination applies to Galatasaray as well, and the management would only let the star player go if a very large offer comes in.
GALATASARAY IS WAITING
It has been learned that transfer planning is ongoing on the Galatasaray front, and they will sit at the table if Atalanta opens the door. However, it is being discussed that under the current conditions, it is difficult for the yellow-reds to meet the 50 million euro fee.
