Overview

• Atalanta rejected Inter Milan’s €42 million plus €3 million add-on proposal and remains firm on a €50 million price tag for Ademola Lookman.
• Lookman confirmed on August 3 that he has submitted a formal transfer request to Atalanta after agreeing personal terms with Inter Milan.
• The Nigeria national team issued a public statement declaring its support for Lookman, adding pressure to the stalled negotiations.
• Atalanta’s valuation is reinforced by profit-sharing obligations to RB Leipzig, which allocates 10 percent of profit up to €20 million and 15 percent thereafter.
• With the Lookman move unresolved, Inter Milan have resumed talks with Chelsea’s Christopher Nkunku as a contingency option.
