Atalanta slap ₦47 billion price tag on Super Eagles star Lookman to ward off Premier League interest

Europa League champions Atalanta have reportedly set a price tag of up to €30 million for Nigerian star Ademola Lookman who guided La Dea to their first ever European title last month.

The Super Eagles star scored a hat-trick in the final of the Europa League to help Atalanta to a 3-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen on their way to a historic first European title in their 116-year history.

His performances for Atalanta, as well as for Nigeria in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, where he scored three goals and provided one assist in seven games have put Lookman on the radar of top clubs, leading to Atalanta to set a price tag in case some of his suitors from the Premier League come calling this summer.

According to reports from Sky Sports, Atalanta will only be willing to listen to offers for Lookman in the range of €25-30m this summer, as they hope to make a profit on the €9.35 million that they paid RB Leipzig for the 26-year-old Nigerian forward.

Since joining Atalanta in 2022, Lookman has scored 32 goals and provided 18 assists in 72 matches for La Dea, becoming one of the most important players for the Bergamo club, but now reportedly has eyes for a move abroad.
