Ademola Lookman, Atalanta`s prolific forward, is reportedly considering leaving Bergamo following an exceptional season. The Nigerian international, born in 1997, had a remarkable 2023/24 campaign, scoring 20 goals and providing 6 assists in 38 appearances. His decisive contributions were key to La Dea`s historic Europa League triumph. Despite his impressive form, the 27-year-old seems keen on seeking a new challenge elsewhere. Indications of his desire for a transfer emerged as early as spring, fueling transfer speculation that is now gaining further traction.
Atlético Madrid Reignites Interest in Lookman
Atlético Madrid has reportedly placed Lookman back on their list of transfer targets. The Spanish club is actively seeking to bolster their attacking options and views the Atalanta player`s profile as particularly appealing, citing his technical prowess, pace, and goal-scoring ability.
Lookman himself is said to have already expressed interest in a move to La Liga, with Madrid being his preferred destination. While his contract still ties him to the Italian side, negotiations regarding a potential transfer could accelerate in the coming weeks.
The forward has also previously been linked with a move to Juventus.
