Atalanta have turned down a €50 million offer from Napoli for star forward Ademola Lookman, signaling their determination to keep the Nigerian after a strong campaign.
The club is undergoing major changes following the departure of long-time coach Gian Piero Gasperini, but they remain firm on their valuation of Lookman, reportedly setting the price tag at €60 million to even begin talks.
Lookman, who found the net 20 times and assisted seven more in 40 appearances this season, was one of the key figures in Atalanta’s success. Despite previous tensions with Gasperini, his performance remained consistent, cementing his status as a top talent in Europe.
Napoli, looking to refresh their squad after a Scudetto-winning campaign, are not the only team eyeing the winger. Several Premier League clubs are said to be monitoring his situation as well.
For now, Atalanta are standing their ground. They seem in no rush to sell unless their price is met, showing that they are ready to shape their post-Gasperini future around key players like Lookman.
