Inter Milan Reach Agreement With Lookman Amid Barcelona, Madrid Links
Serie A giants Inter Milan have won the race to sign Super Eagles star Ademola Lookman, beating competition from Barcelona and Atletico Madrid
According to respected transfer journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Inter have reached a personal agreement with Lookman and are now preparing a €40 million offer to Atalanta to complete the deal.
The 27-year-old Nigerian forward had been linked with several European giants, including Barcelona, Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, and Liverpool, but Inter moved quickest to secure his commitment.
Lookman, who starred for Atalanta with 52 goals and 25 assists in 118 appearances since joining from RB Leipzig in 2022, has long been expected to leave this summer. Atalanta have been open to selling with two years left on his contract.
With Cristian Chivu now at the helm, Inter see Lookman as a key piece in their attacking rebuild. His versatility, pace, and defensive work rate make him a strong fit for the Nerazzurri.
Atletico Madrid reportedly held fresh talks with Atalanta in recent days, while Barcelona had also kept tabs as they weighed up other winger targets, including Marcus Rashford.
Inter’s swift move now puts them in pole position, with official club-to-club talks expected to progress quickly as Atalanta consider the €40 million bid.
