Alfredo Pedulla believes Inter Milan will have to sign Ademola Lookman before a “deadline” for July 31st.

The SportItalia transfer market expert reported, via FCInter1908, that the Nerazzurri will aim to raise their offer for the Atalanta forward to €45 million with a couple notable sales.

Inter Milan are pushing to sign Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman. The Nigerian international is their top target in attack this summer.

The Nerazzurri have already made an offer to Atalanta for Lookman.

La Dea have rejected the initial bid, which Inter have not yet increased. However, the player himself reportedly wants to join.

Widespread reports indicate that Inter’s first offer to Atalanta was for €40 million.

Atalanta, on the other hand, are reportedly holding out for around €50 million.

Pedulla: July 31st The “Deadline” For Inter To Sign Ademola Lookman

SportItalia transfer expert Alfredo Pedulla notes that “Inter have built up a nest egg with the sales of Buchanan and Stankovic.”

Furthermore, he added that “there’s a deadline for Lookman: July 31st.”

“The current silence is just part of the chess match that the two sides are playing. Inter know that they have to increase their offer.”

Pedulla furthermore anticipated that “there’s no doubt that there are other clubs interested in Lookman.”

“But he’ll wait for Inter,” he added.

“The €20 million Inter are bringing in [by selling Buchanan and Stankovic] could allow them to increase their offer to Atalanta to €45 million. Maybe with the inclusion of some add-ons.”
