Atletico Madrid are out of the race to sign Ademola Lookman, as they are close to signing Napoli forward Giacomo Raspadori.

This according to Spanish outlet Marca, via FCInterNews. They report that the La Liga giants will sign the 25-year-old on a five-year contract until the end of June 2030.

It is no secret that Inter Milan are trying to sign Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman.

However, the Nerazzurri are not the only club with an interest in the Nigerian international.

And reports suggest that Atalanta would much prefer to sell Lookman abroad rather than to Inter or another team in Serie A. And in fact, La Dea CEO Luca Percassi confirmed as much.
