Transfer market: Ademola Lookman has no interest in Atletico Madrid

Clearly, Ademola Lookman has only one club on his mind this summer. The Nigerian has no interest in Atletico Madrid.

Despite recent interest from Los Colchoneros, Ademola Lookman is focused solely on Inter Milan this summer. In fact, the 2024 African Ballon d'Or winner has already reached a verbal agreement with the Nerazzurri on a five-year contract, with a reported salary of €5 million per season.

Atletico reportedly made an approach in recent days according to AS, but did not pursue negotiations with Atalanta or the player's representatives. The Spanish club is well aware that Lookman has other priorities.

Atalanta are demanding between €50 and €60 million for the player, partly due to a 15% resale clause owed to RB Leipzig. Inter, meanwhile, hope to finalize the deal on a loan with an obligation to buy, and do not want to exceed €40 million.
