Turkish giants Fenerbahçe have reached a full personal agreement with Nigerian international Ademola Lookman as they push to bolster their squad in the January transfer window.
The 28-year-old forward is said to be open to the move and has already given his approval to the sporting project presented by the Istanbul-based club, signalling his willingness to take the next step in his career in the Turkish Super Lig.
Attention has now shifted to negotiations with Atalanta, who currently hold Lookman’s contract and are demanding a significant transfer fee for the winger. Discussions between the clubs are ongoing, with Fenerbahçe actively working to reduce the asking price and agree on a payment structure that would satisfy the Serie A side.
Fenerbahçe head coach José Mourinho reportedly views Lookman as a key addition to his attacking options, valuing the Nigerian’s pace, versatility and experience at the top level of European football.
With talks continuing behind the scenes, Fenerbahçe are eager to conclude the deal swiftly as they seek to reinforce their squad ahead of the decisive phase of the season.
