Ademola Lookman, the Nigerian forward currently with Atalanta Bergamo, has become a hot commodity in the summer transfer window, with top European clubs and Saudi Pro League giants vying for his signature.
The 26-year-old had an outstanding 2023-2024 season, capped by a memorable hat-trick in the Europa League final against Bayer Leverkusen, helping Atalanta secure the prestigious title.
His performance throughout the season has made him one of the most sought-after players in the transfer market.
Despite several clubs expressing interest in Lookman, none have been able to secure his services thus far.
However, with just two weeks remaining before the summer transfer window closes, the race to sign him has intensified.
According to reports from *Sports Zone*, Al-Ahli, a prominent Saudi Pro League club, has made a substantial offer to lure Lookman to Jeddah.
The club is reportedly prepared to offer the Nigerian forward a lucrative salary, aiming to capitalize on the growing trend of European stars moving to the Middle East.
In addition to Al-Ahli, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), one of Europe’s top clubs, is also closely monitoring Lookman’s situation.
The Qatari-owned French club is considering the possibility of bringing the dynamic forward to Paris, adding to their already star-studded lineup.
Lookman, who featured in Atalanta’s recent UEFA Super Cup match against Real Madrid, has been notably absent from the squad list for their upcoming Serie A fixture against Lecce.
This omission has fueled speculation that a transfer could be imminent, with both Al-Ahli and PSG keen on finalizing a deal before the transfer window shuts.
The decision on Lookman’s future is expected to come down to whether he opts for a move to Saudi Arabia, where he could secure a significant financial package, or if he chooses to stay in Europe, where he could continue competing at the highest level with a club like PSG.
As the clock ticks down on the transfer window, the outcome of this transfer saga remains uncertain, but what is clear is that Ademola Lookman has become one of the most coveted players in world football.
