Inter Milan prepares to submit an enhanced bid for Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman following the rejection of their initial proposal. The Nerazzurri offered a loan arrangement with purchase option plus 4 million euros annually, which Atalanta declined over inadequate compensation terms. Football Italia reports Inter's readiness to spend 40 million euros while Atalanta demands approximately 50 million euros for the Nigerian international. An improved offer worth 2 to 3 million euros more than the previous bid appears imminent. The pursuit stems from Inter's need to replace Mehdi Taremi, who faces potential moves to Fulham or Besiktas.
Atalanta maintains leverage after securing 65 million euros from Al-Qadisiyah for Matteo Retegui's transfer. Lookman represents Inter's primary attacking target this summer as they rebuild their forward line. The 26-year-old striker has delivered impressive performances since joining Atalanta in 2022. His record shows 52 goals across 118 appearances in all competitions. Negotiations continue as both clubs work toward reaching an acceptable agreement.
