Lookman has been a hugely influential figure at Atalanta since moving from RB Leipzig in 2022. The former Leicester City loanee has scored 52 goals and added 25 assists in 118 games, along with starring in their Europa League trophy-winning run in 2024. Such is his importance, Atalanta are standing firm on his valuation.
DID YOU KNOW?
Earlier this week, Atalanta CEO Luca Percassi confirmed Lookman wants to leave the club.
He said: "Lookman has been expressing his desire to leave for some time. It's no secret. In all our discussions, he was a player who should have left this summer, following our club's philosophy of one sale per year. But the transfer market always brings unexpected things."

It remains to be seen if the former Fulham loanee, whose contract at Atalanta expires in 2027, will join Inter or if the Italian giants will be put off by his price tag. Both teams have around a month to come to an accord before the summer transfer window shuts.
