Report: Lookman to earn ₦6.35 billion yearly as Atalanta prepare new contract offer for Super Eagles star

Two years ago, Lookman left RB Leipzig to join Atalanta after failing to establish himself at the club.

Since his move, he has become an important player for the club, helping them win their first European trophy in their history.

The 27-year-old attacker has made 13 appearances for La Dea this season, scoring 12 goals and five assists. 

Atalanta are planning a new contract offer for Lookman that will see him make €3.5 million (₦6.35 billion) per year.

According to reports from Atalanta BC on X, a one-year extension offer worth €3.5 million annually plus bonuses has been tabled by Atalanta.

This will nearly double Lookman's annual salary of €2.3 million, which he currently earns at the club.

Some of the best clubs in Europe have expressed interest in Lookman as a result of his outstanding performances for Atalanta.

The Super Eagles forward was on the score sheet in Atalanta’s win over Stuttgart in the Champions League.

Lookman was reportedly pursued by PSG, Arsenal, and Manchester United last summer, but Atalanta resisted.

But it seems that La Dea wants to extend the Super Eagles star's contract and is unwilling to let him go at all.
