Inter Milan will only resort to a Plan B signing in attack if Atalanta insist on a high fee for Ademola Lookman.

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

Inter Milan are hardly changing their strategy in attack after yesterday.

The Nerazzurri have been pushing to sign Ademola Lookman from Atalanta. However, their efforts have been met with stubborn resistance from La Dea.

Therefore, there have been reports of backup or Plan B targets. Most prominent among these has been Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku.

Inter Will Only Resort To Lookman Plan B If Atalanta Demands Are High

Of course, Inter do have some contingency plans if they simply can’t break Atalanta’s resolve.

However, the Gazzetta dello Sport report that Inter are considering those only as a last resort.

Right now, the Nerazzurri are all-in on Atalanta. Particularly after the Nigerian international’s move to force his club’s hand yesterday with a public transfer request.

The Gazzetta note that Inter are expecting Atalanta to finally give them a firm price tag for Lookman.

If La Dea give them a number like €50 million, then the Nerazzurri can add a few million euros to their existing offer. Or even simply stick to their offer and hope that Lookman’s public outburst gives them leverage.

On the other hand, Atalanta could communicate that they’re sticking to a valuation like €60 million.

In that case, there would be little basis for negotiations.

And it is in that scenario, the Gazzetta dello Sport reports, that Inter would move onto their Plan B targets.
