Ademola Lookman is being linked with a move from Atalanta to Bayer Leverkusen, with the Serie A forward once again at the centre of transfer speculation in the Bundesliga.
Reports from transfer market data indicate Leverkusen are monitoring the 28-year-old, who is currently valued at €35.00m. The probability of any deal remains unspecified, underlined only by a “?” in the latest listing, but the German club are understood to be assessing whether Atalanta might be open to negotiations in an upcoming window. There is no public information on the length of Lookman’s existing deal in Bergamo, leaving open the longer-term possibility that he could become a free agent if no extension is agreed.
Lookman, primarily a second striker who favours his right foot, has rebuilt his reputation at Atalanta after a series of moves across Europe. Since joining the Italian side from RB Leipzig in 2022, his market value has fluctuated, rising as high as €60.00m in 2025 before settling at its current €35.00m by December of the same year, according to the latest update.
Born in London on 20 October 1997 and standing at 1.74m, Lookman is listed with Nigerian and English nationality. His career path has taken him from Charlton Athletic’s youth and first team into the Premier League with Everton, then on to RB Leipzig, with loan spells at Fulham and Leicester City before making a permanent switch to Serie A. He has therefore already featured in the Championship, Premier League, Bundesliga and Serie A – experience that may appeal to Leverkusen as they weigh up attacking options.
No recent match details are specified in the data, but any move to Leverkusen would mark a return to German football for Lookman and could define the next phase of a career that has steadily climbed through Europe’s major leagues.
