Ademola Lookman is being linked with a surprise move from Atalanta to Galatasaray, with the probability of a transfer currently rated at 55% according to data from Transfermarkt.
The 28-year-old second striker, valued at €40.00m, is emerging as a significant attacking target for the Turkish champions, who are seeking to add high-end firepower from Serie A to their Süper Lig title push. While no agreement has been reached and no contract terms have been disclosed, the level of reported probability suggests Galatasaray are seriously exploring the possibility of prising him away from Bergamo.
Lookman remains an Atalanta player and there is no indication in the data of a fixed contract end date, leaving open the possibility that his situation could evolve towards a future free-agent scenario if no extension is agreed. For now, however, any move would be expected to involve a substantial fee, with his current market valuation reflecting his status as one of Atalanta’s most highly rated forwards.
Born in London on 20 October 1997, Lookman holds both Nigerian and English nationality and is listed primarily as a second striker, operating from the right foot. His career path has taken him from Charlton Athletic’s youth and senior sides into the Premier League with Everton, followed by spells at RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga and loan moves to Fulham and Leicester City before his permanent switch to Atalanta in August 2022.
His transfer history shows a player accustomed to adapting to new leagues and tactical systems, having featured in the Championship, Premier League, Bundesliga and Serie A. That versatility is likely to appeal to Galatasaray as they weigh up whether to convert interest into a formal bid.
If the move does materialise, a switch from Italy to Türkiye would mark another significant step in Lookman’s varied career, offering the chance to become a marquee attacking figure in Istanbul and potentially reshaping his reputation on the European stage.
