Atalanta reportedly see Kamaldeen Sulemana as the readymade replacement for Inter Milan target Ademola Lookman.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews.

Inter Milan have made Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman their priority target.

The Nerazzurri made an offer of €40 million for the Nigerian earlier this month. However, Atalanta rejected this initial bid – giving Inter a counteroffer of €50 million.

However, that has not deterred Inter. Far from it – they are aiming to return with another offer very soon.

Inter Milan are reportedly hoping to wrap things up quickly to sign Lookman.

Reportedly, the Nerazzurri will make an improved offer tomorrow. And they want to make it official in the next few days.

Meanwhile, the question of Atalanta finding a successor to Lookman could be crucial.

Clearly, La Dea would be more open to selling the Nigerian if they have a replacement in mind.

And according to the Gazzetta, Atalanta feel that the replacement for Lookman is already in their ranks.

The Bergamo club signed forward Kamaldeen Sulemana from Southampton already this summer. And the 23-year-old Ghanian international is a player they’re backing to replace Lookman.
