Inter Milan are reportedly growing increasingly confident of securing the services of Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman.
According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews , Ivan Juric’s men have already found a replacement for the Nigerian in Ligue 1.
The report claims that Atalanta have identified Olympique Marseille striker Jonathan Rowe as a potential target.
Indeed, La Dea’s interest in the former Norwich City star confirms they’re preparing for life after Ademola Lookman.
The presidents of Atalanta and Inter will soon hold a crunch meeting over Lookman’s future.
After seeing their €40 million offer fall short of La Dea’s demands, the Nerazzurri will table an improved bid.
Indeed, Beppe Marotta is willing to increase the initial offer by €3 million to finalize the deal.
Meanwhile, Atalanta cannot realistically hope to get €50m.
Though they’ve been unwilling to budge on their valuation, Lookman’s desire to join Inter is a game-changer.
Therefore, they’ve already set their sights on Rowe to fill the impending gap.
