Napoli Challenge Inter With €50M Bid to Sign Lookman

• Napoli makes a €50M move for Lookman amid Inter pursuit
• Conte wants to strengthen the left flank with the African Golden Ball winner
• Lookman scored 20 goals last season and could partner Noa Lang
• Napoli also closing in on Milinkovic-Savic, Ngonge, and Juanlu

The transfer window in Italy is taking a new turn, as Napoli have joined the race for Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman with a bold move. They submitted a €50 million offer and proposed a €5 million salary to the player, aiming to outbid Inter. Lookman’s pace, power, and finishing make him an ideal fit for Antonio Conte’s system.

This bid reignites the rivalry between Napoli and Inter, both active in the market and title contenders. Napoli’s offer came directly through Lookman’s agents. It surpasses Inter’s €4 million per season and includes Growth Decree tax benefits.

Lookman, 27, scored 20 goals in the 2024–25 season. Since joining Atalanta in 2022, he has tallied 52 goals in 118 matches. Napoli view him as the perfect left-wing partner for Noa Lang, especially after shifting David Neres to the right.

Inter previously offered €40M, but Atalanta raised the asking price to €50M. Napoli’s arrival has turned the race into a two-way battle. If Lookman accepts the terms, Napoli will open talks with Atalanta.

Napoli Set to Add More Reinforcements

The pursuit of Lookman is part of a bigger plan. Napoli are closing in on three other signings:

• Vanja Milinkovic-Savic: The Torino goalkeeper is expected to sign for €17.5M. He stayed on the bench during a friendly against Ingolstadt, which hints the deal is nearly done.
• Cyril Ngonge: Also from Torino, Ngonge will move on loan with an option to buy for €12M. He’s scheduled to arrive in Turin today to finalize the transfer.
• Juanlu Sanchez: The Sevilla full-back, 21, wasn’t called up for a friendly with Sunderland. Napoli have targeted him for months and are now close to a deal.

With Lorenzo Lucca already signed to support Romelu Lukaku, Napoli are building a deep and dangerous squad. Conte wants more depth and more goals across competitions: Serie A, Champions League, Supercoppa, and Coppa Italia.

Lookman could be the final piece in the attack. Now, the decision rests with the player. If he gives the green light, Napoli will negotiate with Atalanta and aim to seal one of the biggest moves of the summer.
