Manchester United reportedly weighing a €100 million bid for Atalanta and Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman, according to Soccernet.ng.
Lookman has excelled since joining Atalanta in 2022, playing a crucial role in Nigeria’s AFCON final run and Atalanta’s Coppa Italia and UEFA Europa League successes, including a hat-trick.
His impressive form has led to recognition, ranked 14th in the 2024 Ballon d’Or standings and nominated for the 2024 CAF Player of the Year award, with eight goals and five assists in 14 matches this season.
New Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim aims to rejuvenate the squad with key signings, viewing Lookman as a potential game-changer within a limited 2025 transfer budget.
Lookman’s contract with Atalanta runs until 2026, but renewal talks have stalled, increasing the likelihood of a move.
Manchester United faces competition from European giants, including Paris Saint-Germain, which has shown interest but not yet made a concrete bid.
