Lookman's stock rose after his hat-trick in Atalanta's 2024 Europa League final win over Bayer Leverkusen, sparking speculation about his future.
The reigning CAF Player of the Year has just one year left on his deal, and Atalanta's latest move suggests they may be preparing for life without the Nigerian.

Pulse Sports reported that Atalanta have secured a deal for Southampton's Kamaldeen Sulemana for €21.5million, including add-ons.
Sulemana, typically a left winger at Southampton, could fill a similar role at Atalanta, potentially paving the way for Lookman's exit.
Arsenal are desperate to bolster their attack, and a cut price deal for and remain interested in RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko and Real Madrid's versatile winger Rodrygo, who can play on either flank.
