Lookman Pushes for Inter Move as Club Prepares New Bid

Ademola Lookman

  • Inter to raise their offer for Lookman to €45 million
  • The Nigerian forward has clearly chosen Inter over other options
  • A deal could be finalized this week if talks progress well
  • Parma’s defender Leoni is also being tracked by Premier League clubs

Inter are preparing a fresh offer to sign Ademola Lookman. The new bid will be worth €45 million, including bonuses, and is expected by Tuesday. Inter hope to close the gap with Atalanta and bring the forward to Milan.

According to the Corriere Dello Sport, Lookman has told both clubs he wants to join Inter. He has already agreed to a long-term deal that runs until 2030. His contract will start at €4 million per season, with room to grow. His strong commitment is helping Inter push the move forward.

Atalanta rejected Inter’s first offer of €40 million. They are still asking for €50 million. The new offer will narrow the gap by 50 percent. It’s unclear if it will be enough, but Lookman’s clear preference could help break the deadlock.

The Nigerian winger is recovering from a minor calf injury. He’s expected to be fit in the next few days. If he’s still with Atalanta by then, his situation could become even more delicate given his desire to leave.

Leoni Still Waiting, But Premier League Clubs Enter Race

Inter also want to sign Parma defender Leoni. The young talent gave his word to Inter and is waiting for them to complete outgoing deals. But Liverpool, Newcastle, and Tottenham are showing growing interest. These Premier League clubs can match or even exceed Parma’s €35 million asking price.

For now, Leoni remains patient. But if Inter delay too long, the risk of losing him increases. The Premier League teams can offer top salaries and Champions League football.

Lookman remains Inter’s top priority. But their ability to close both deals will depend on how quickly they can move players out and free up budget space. The next few days will be critical in shaping their summer window.
