Lookman to Manchester United, the rumor is confirmed!

The Nigerian superstar, Ademola Lookman, is attracting significant interest in the transfer market. Manchester United, eager to bolster their attacking options, is stepping up efforts to lure the star winger from Atalanta Bergamo.

The Manchester club has thus made the Nigerian international a priority for this summer.

Having had a remarkable season in Serie A, Lookman, 27, has caught the eye of several English clubs. However, Manchester United seems determined to go beyond mere inquiries.

Indeed, according to English media CaughtOffside, the management sees him as a key asset in the rebuilding of a squad seeking offensive renewal.

The idea of a Premier League return appeals to Lookman

Trained in England, the London native is himself enticed by the idea of returning to the Premier League, complicating Juventus's chances, who are also interested.

However, Atalanta does not intend to easily part with their gem. The Italian club would demand nearly 60 million euros to release their striker, who is still under contract until 2026 with an option for an additional year.

The deal promises to be complex, but the shared desire of the player and Manchester United could make the difference. The Red Devils, currently outside the Top 4, are banking on the Europa League to hope for a return to the Champions League in the 2025-2026 season.
