Inter Milan have given Atalanta a take-it-or-leave-it offer of €40 million for forward Ademola Lookman.
This according to Italian broadcaster SportMediaset, via FCInterNews. They report that the Nerazzurri have no intention of raising their bid for the Nigerian international.
In the last couple days, a bombshell has emerged regarding Inter’s summer transfer plans.
Reportedly, the Nerazzurri have been in talks to sign Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman.
Inter’s interest in the 27-year-old is more than just a passing interest. They have already approached the player, who is keen to make the move.
Meanwhile, Inter have already signalled their interest to Atalanta. They are ready to move fast and make an offer to get talks started.
According to SportMediaset, Inter Milan have already given Atalanta their offer for Lookman.
As has been widely reported, the Nerazzurri have put a bid of around €40 million on the table.
Furthermore, reports Mediaset, Inter are not planning to raise their bid. They believe that Atalanta will accept the offer without attempting to negotiate them any higher.
This is because of the fact that Lookman has an informal promise from Atalanta that they would facilitate a transfer away this summer after they refused to sell him twelve months ago.
And this summer represents just such an opportunity for the 27-year-old.
According to Mediaset, Atletico Madrid are also interested in signing Lookman. However, the player himself prefers a move to Inter.
