Atalanta Reduces Lookmans Valuation as Spurs, Atletico Madrid, and Galatasaray Show Interest

Management’s Dilemma

Atalanta’s leadership is currently contemplating their options regarding Ademola Lookman ahead of the January transfer window. After the club rejected offers of around €50 million during the summer, Lookman’s situation remains a focal point for the board. While the Nigerian international remains a key asset under Gian Piero Gasperini, the tension from the summer transfer saga has led to ongoing speculation about his long-term commitment to the Bergamo-based club.

Potential Outcomes

As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Atalanta management hopes Lookman will maintain his high level of performance to help the team’s push for the Scudetto and success in the Champions League. However, should the player push for an exit again, the club may consider a January sale to avoid internal friction.

Interested Parties

Clubs such as Atletico Madrid and Tottenham have been monitoring the situation, having both shown interest in Lookman previously. In addition, Galatasaray has emerged as a potential contender, with reports suggesting they are prepared to offer a lucrative package to the player’s representatives as the winter transfer window approaches. Notably, while Atalanta initially set a €50 million valuation, the final asking price may be subject to negotiation depending on the structure of the deal.
