Overview

• Bayern proposed a loan with an option to buy for around €28m, with some reports adding a €5m loan fee, but Atalanta turned it down immediately.
• Atalanta insist on a permanent sale for Ademola Lookman and have briefed suitors that loan-based structures are unacceptable.
• Lookman remains an Atalanta player after deadline day, having submitted a transfer request earlier in the window and continued to train separately.
• Galatasaray and Tottenham have been cited as interested, and Turkey’s window runs until September 12, allowing a potential post‑deadline move.
• Inter’s earlier offer of €42m plus €3m in add-ons was rejected, and Bayern’s late move followed the collapse of a Nicolas Jackson loan and a shortage of attacking options.
