Inter Milan will reportedly decide whether to make an increased bid for Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman in the next 48 hours.
This according to Italian broadcaster SportMediaset, via FCInterNews. They report that the Nerazzurri are still far from having dropped their pursuit of the 27-year-old Nigerian international.
Inter Milan raised their offer for Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman this week.
Having initially bid €40 million up front for the former RB Leipzig forward, they increased the bid for €45 million including add-ons.
However, this was not enough for Atalanta. After a couple of days to consider Inter’s offer, the Bergamo club responded to it yesterday – a firm no.
Moreover, reportedly Atalanta have not given Inter a counteroffer either.
Therefore, this has led to some uncertainty over whether Inter will be able to agree a deal for Lookman.
Now, the ball is back in Inter’s court. Having hoped to wrap up their pursuit of Lookman quickly, the Nerazzurri are once again left deciding whether or not to increase their offer again.
And according to SportMediaset, the Nerazzurri have not yet made a firm decision.
And the club will take some time to consider their next move.
However, it will not be that much time.
In fact, Mediaset report, Inter are expected to decide whether or not they will increase their offer for Lookman within the next 48 hours.
Therefore, the next major development in this unexpected transfer soap opera should come at the start of next week.
