Atalanta demand  N84 billion from Gala  for Lookman

Galatasaray  will have to cough €50m (about N84 billion) to prise away  Nigeria International , Ademola Lookman, from  Serie A outfit, Atalanta.

The Turkish giants which presently  housed  another Nigerian star  forward, Victor Osimhen, has  not hidden  their  interest  to sign up  the 2024 African  Footballer of the Year  in the upcoming Transfer Window in January.

But  according to the famous Italian Pink Newspaper, Gazzetta dello Sport, Atalanta will only sell the Nigerian for €50m and won’t reduce the price.

Lookman is reportedly interested in joining his  compatriot and international teammate, Osimhen in Turkey.

The 28-year-old has struggled to make much impact at Atalanta this season after pushing to leave the Bergamo club for Inter Milan  in the summer.

He  scored 20 goals in 41 appearances last season, establishing himself as one of Europe’s best wingers, but has scored just two  goals in 12 appearances across all competitions  in the on-going campaign.

Lookman has contract with the Serie A club  until June  2027 but whether he would  move to Turkey in January remains to be seen.
