According to Sky Sport Italia, the latest written offer from Inter for Ademola Lookman is €42m plus €3m in add-ons to Atalanta.

There was a new meeting today between directors representing the two clubs and the Nerazzurri had promised an improvement to the original €40m proposal.

It was believed the new bid would be €40m plus €5m in add-ons, but the situation has now changed.

Inter increase Lookman fixed fee

Sky Sport Italia and Sport Mediaset both claim that the written offer is worth €42m in fixed fee plus another €3m in add-ons.

It remains to be seen if it will be sufficient for Atalanta, who had wanted €50m including bonuses to release the forward.

Lookman will celebrate his 28^th birthday in October and his contract with Atalanta runs to June 2027.

He was purchased from RB Leipzig in 2022 for €10.85m plus €1.5m in bonuses.

The Germans are also owed a cut of the sell-on fee for the 2024 African Player of the Year.
