Ademola Lookman: EPL, Saudi clubs must pay ₦120 Billion to land Super Eagles star this summer
Ademola Lookman became one of Europe's most sought-after players after his impressive hat-trick for Atalanta in the Europa League final.
Even before his heroics in Dublin, Lookman was in excellent form for Atalanta, attracting interest from potential suitors. With 17 goals and 11 assists in all competitions last season, it's no surprise that clubs are vying for his services.
Reports suggest serious interest in his services from the Saudi Pro League, as well as English clubs West Ham and Aston Villa.
Atalanta slap hefty price tag on Ademola Lookman
However, according to CalcioNews24, Atalanta is reluctant to let go of their prized asset and will only consider a sale under the right circumstances.
With two years left on his contract, any sale would need to meet the club's financial requirements.
The reported transfer fee is around €70 million, just shy of the €73.5 million record sale of Rasmus Hojlund to Manchester United last summer.
Lookman joined Atalanta in 2022 on a four-year deal and has become arguably the club's most important player in just two seasons.
