Lookman is certainly on the market, but Atalanta have set their limit at 50m

It was clear for all to see, if they wanted to see, that Atalanta would stand firm for Ademola Lookman, but that doesn’t mean he is not for sale, just at the right price. Does Inter want to meet it?

Only now are some finally understanding the situation, which is that Atalanta have not the slightest intention of parting with their star striker for €45m including add-ons.

Lookman price tag is no secret

It had been obvious for a while now, that Atalanta believe if they are to sell him, then the minimum price is €45m plus some pretty easy to activate bonuses worth €5m, taking the full figure to €50m.

What we’re seeing circulating in the media over the last few minutes since the rejection is also entirely meaningless, because it is totally false to suggest this means Lookman is off the market.

The Nigerian is absolutely for sale, just at the conditions set by Atalanta and nothing less, that’s all there is to it.

Now it remains to be seen if Inter, or anyone else, will meet those conditions.
