Atletico Madrid Agree Transfer for Ademola Lookman Pending Medical

Atalanta accepted Atletico’s €35 million plus add-ons structure after Fenerbahçe’s proposal stalled over payment guarantees.

Overview

  • Atletico said a deal is in place for the 28-year-old Nigerian, pending his medical and contract signing, with the player already in Madrid.
  • Atalanta CEO Luca Percassi confirmed all details were verbally agreed as the clubs proceed to formalise the move.
  • Reports place the package at €35m fixed plus up to €5m in bonuses, with Lookman expected to sign a multi-year contract.
  • Lookman was left out of Atalanta’s squad to face Como and traveled to Spain on Sunday for medical tests.
  • Fenerbahçe matched the fee but negotiations faltered over the payment schedule and bank guarantees despite a higher wage offer being reported.
