Inter Milan makes offer for Lookman and receives rejection from Atalanta board
Bergamo club holds firm on €50 million valuation despite growing transfer interest
Inter Milan’s latest attempt to sign Ademola Lookman has been rejected, with Atalanta refusing to accept an offer reportedly worth €43 million plus €2 million in add-ons. The Bergamo-based club remains firm on its €50 million asking price for the Nigerian international, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.
The 26-year-old forward has emerged as a top target for Inter as they look to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the new season. Club officials consider Lookman a priority signing, believing his pace and versatility would significantly bolster Simone Inzaghi’s squad.
Despite Inter’s growing interest and back-to-back proposals, Atalanta’s board has not been convinced by the financial terms presented. While the club is open to negotiating a sale, sources say they will only consider offers that meet their full valuation.
Lookman’s future has become a major talking point this summer following his standout performances last season, which have attracted interest from several top European sides. Though Atalanta are not ruling out a transfer, they are keen to maximize value for a player under contract and central to their recent success.
Inter are expected to reassess their position but may face competition if they delay further, with other clubs reportedly monitoring the situation closely.
