Overview

• Atalanta has rejected Inter Milan’s latest €45m-plus proposal and enforces a one-sale-per-season rule to justify its €50m valuation.
• Arsenal sees Lookman as a key solution to its left-wing woes and will only proceed with a £44m bid once Gabriel Martinelli or Leandro Trossard departs.
• Lookman has submitted a formal transfer request and skipped training as he pushes for a move following a 20-goal, 7-assist season.
• Inter Milan remains in contention for the Nigerian forward but has yet to table an improved offer that matches Atalanta’s price.
• Atalanta’s refusal to lower its fee is reinforced by profit-sharing obligations with RB Leipzig and strict club sale policies.
