Overview

• Atalanta has rejected Inter’s offers of around €45 million plus bonuses for Ademola Lookman, leaving the forward training in London without a move.
• Roma’s Friedkin family intervened to keep Manu Koné off the market, halting Inter’s proposed €40–45 million alternative deal.
• Atalanta continues to negotiate for Fulham’s Rodrigo Muniz with a €40 million-plus-bonuses offer and insists on securing a replacement before releasing Lookman.
• Inter’s ability to pursue reinforcements depends on player sales, with potential departures including Asllani, Taremi and Pavard critical to freeing up budget.
• Giovanni Leoni’s €35 million transfer to Liverpool and Milan’s €10 million-plus-sell-on deal for Zachary Athekame have reshaped budgets and market dynamics.
