Atletico Madrid, who transferred Ademola Lookman, a player long linked with Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray during the mid-season transfer period, has placed the Nigerian left winger on the sales list.

Ademola Lookman, who was long pursued by Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray during the mid-season transfer window, has moved to Atletico Madrid. The Nigerian left winger, who signed for the Spanish giant Atletico Madrid with a transfer fee of 35 million euros in the final days of the transfer window, may see his Madrid adventure cut short.

DOESN'T FIT SIMEONE'S SYSTEM

According to Fichajes' report; in the first three months in Spain, the 28-year-old footballer played 24 official matches for Atletico Madrid, achieving a remarkable record of 9 goals and 4 assists. However, despite this significant contribution to the scoreline, Lookman has not fully adapted to head coach Diego Simeone's system.

ASKING FOR 60 MILLION EUROS

Following this development, it was reported that Atletico Madrid's management has decided to part ways with Lookman, who is struggling to adapt to Simeone's tactical plans, and has placed him on the sales list. The red-and-whites, aiming to build a more harmonious squad in line with the Argentine coach's requests, have set a transfer fee of approximately 60 million euros for the player, who has serious suitors particularly from England.

SUPER LEAGUE GIANTS MAY TAKE ACTION

This situation has created a brand new opportunity for Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe, who continue their search for the left wing position and have been interested in Rafael Leao, who is on the agenda to leave Milan. It is estimated that the yellow-reds, who parted ways with Noa Lang, and the yellow-navy blues, who lack alternatives in their left wing rotation aside from Kerem Aktürkoğlu, may resume official contacts in the coming days for the transfer of Ademola Lookman following this flash development.
