Atalanta raise Lookman asking price

Atalanta, a club in the Italian Serie A, has decided to increase the asking price for Ademola Lookman, a forward for the Super Eagles, from €50m to €60m. This decision comes as interest grows from various clubs, including Juventus, following Lookman’s impressive performance in their recent match.

Lookman, who recently scored his 50th Serie A goal in a match where Atalanta secured a 4-0 victory against Juventus, has been gaining attention for his exceptional skills on the field. Despite initially agreeing to a potential departure this summer with two years left on his contract, Atalanta has decided to raise the valuation of the 27-year-old player.

Juventus is reportedly one of the keenest suitors for Lookman, especially after his outstanding display against them in their recent game at the Allianz Stadium. Lookman’s performance included a near goal in the first half, setting up a goal in the second half, and scoring the fourth goal for Atalanta.

Throughout this season, Lookman has been in remarkable form, contributing a total of 25 goals across various competitions. His performance has seen a significant rise in his reputation, especially since his historic hat-trick in the Europa League final last season.

Despite some disagreements with the manager in the past, Lookman has reconciled with the team, with the manager acknowledging his importance and impact on the team. As Atalanta aims to remain competitive in the Serie A, they are focused on maximizing their financial gains if they decide to part ways with Lookman in the upcoming transfer window.
