Roma target Ademola Lookman after Atletico Madrid move

Ademola Lookman, the Nigerian-English winger currently at Atletico Madrid, is being linked with a move to Roma in Serie A.

Lookman joined Atletico from Atalanta in February 2026 in a €35m transfer and has a contract with the Spanish club until 30 June 2030. His current market value is listed at €40m.

The 29-year-old has made 15 appearances for Atletico this season, scoring twice and providing one assist. He has featured 11 times in LaLiga, with one goal, and has added one goal and one assist in four Champions League appearances.

Lookman moved to Atletico after an influential spell with Atalanta, where he won the Europa League in 2024 and was named African Footballer of the Year. His departure from Italy came less than four years after he joined Atalanta from RB Leipzig for €16.1m.

A move to Roma would represent a return to Serie A, although there is no indication that an agreement has been reached. Lookman remains an Atletico player and is tied to the club for a further three-and-a-half years.
