Bayern end their Lookman pursuit

Bayern Munich are out of the race for the African Player of the Year.

Multiple reports mentioned Bayern Munich ended their pursuit of Ademola Lookman after sorting things out with Chelsea for the signing of Nicolas Jackson. Bayern’s offer of an initial loan deal plus an obligation to buy for under €30 million was declined by Atalanta earlier today.

The Serie A club didn’t want to sell the attacker to their rivals as they demanded €50 million from Inter last month. Bayern are also not expected to add another signing beside the Senegal international from Chelsea.
