Report Inter already have Lookman agreement but must convince Atalanta

Reports in Italy claim that Inter already have an informal agreement with Nigeria international Ademola Lookman, but the Nerazzurri must first satisfy Atalanta’s demands for the 27-year-old before a deal can proceed. 

Reports from Corriere dello Sport on Wednesday morning confirmed that Lookman is now a ‘priority’ for Inter as they look to rebuild their attack following the departures of Joaquin Correa and Marko Arnautovic at the end of the 2024-25 season. 

The Nerazzurri have been informed that Atalanta are seeking a fee in the region of €50m for the reigning African Player of the Year, but reports suggest that Inter are hoping to strike a deal for a sum in the region of €40m instead. 

Reports Inter already have Lookman agreement on personal terms

Now, according to Sky Sport Italia, Inter already have the basis of an agreement with Lookman in place on personal terms, but that is redundant if the club are unable to come to an agreement with Atalanta over a transfer fee. 

In a boost for Inter, Sky details that the club are willing to invest €40m up front, which does not require any other first-team players to be sold beforehand. 

Wednesday’s update claims that Christopher Nkunku of Chelsea, Juventus’s Nico Gonzalez and Manchester United’s Jadon Sancho are among the altre soluzioni attacking options for the Nerazzurri this summer.
