The transfer saga between Inter, Atalanta, and Ademola Lookman has now dragged on for the better part of a month.

Inter have made two offers for the Nigerian international. First, they made a bid worth €40 million all-in. Then, after Atalanta rejected that, they increased it to €45 million including add-ons.

Atalanta then rejected Inter’s second bid for Lookman.

And in the meantime, the former RB Leipzig forward has done everything he possibly can to force through a move to Inter.

Lookman has publicly demanded a transfer. he has also no-showed training for well over a week.

Atalanta Want More Than €50M For Ademola Lookman

The big question has always been whether Atalanta would accept an offer under €50 million.

Inter have gotten as high as €45 million including add-ons. However, they have balked at going much higher.

According to L’Eco di Bergamo, though, Atalanta want a fee of over €50 million to sell Lookman.

Furthermore, the newspaper report, La Dea are prepared to hold onto the 27-year-old if they do not receive an offer that they deem to be sufficient.

Even if Lookman continues to kick up a fuss, Atalanta are ready to keep the player as part of their squad next season.
