Atalanta are pursuing Rodrigo Muniz in a move that could reopen negotiations with Inter Milan over Ademola Lookman.

According to Ivan Zazzaroni via FCInterNews, La Dea’s talks with Fulham could unblock the Nigerian’s transfer to San Siro.

Inter’s quest to sign Ademola Lookman has hit a brick wall after Atalanta rejected their €45 million bid earlier in August.

However, the Serie A runners-up have not dropped interest in the 27-year-old forward.

Instead, they’re working around the clock to unlock discussions.

Atalanta Pursuit of Rodrigo Muniz to Help Reopen Talks with Inter Milan over Ademola Lookman

Despite their firm stance, Atalanta seem to have reconciled with losing the versatile forward this summer.

Indeed, Luca Percassi is in advanced talks with Fulham over Rodrigo Muniz’s transfer to the Gewiss Stadium.

Although the Cottagers turned down La Dea’s opening €40 million bid, Percassi is not giving up.

On the contrary, he is in London, working to strike a deal with the Premier League side.

Muniz’s transfer to Atalanta would likely hand a decisive boost to Inter’s hopes of signing Lookman.
