Atalanta Reject Bayern’s Loan Bid for Lookman as Window Ticks Down

Atalanta will only sanction a permanent exit or a loan with an obligation to buy at a far higher valuation.

Overview

  • Bayern proposed a paid loan with a €28m option to buy for Ademola Lookman, which Atalanta immediately turned down.
  • Club sources value Lookman at around €50m and have told suitors they want a permanent deal or a loan with a mandatory purchase.
  • Tottenham and Galatasaray are reported to be interested and are viewed as potential buyers prepared to meet an outright sale.
  • Lookman has been training away from Atalanta’s main squad after an Inter move collapsed earlier in the window.
  • Bayern’s approach followed the last‑minute collapse of a loan for Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson, leaving the German side seeking short‑term attacking cover.
