Liverpool are eyeing Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman as a potential successor to Mohamed Salah, whose contract concludes at the end of this season.
The 27-year-old Nigerian forward has reportedly had a falling out with Atalanta’s head coach, Gian Piero Gasperini, over perceived disrespect in the dressing room, leading to speculation about his departure during the summer transfer window.
This season, Lookman has been in exceptional form, netting 12 goals and providing 5 assists in 20 Serie A appearances.
His market value has seen a significant rise, currently estimated at €55 million.
Liverpool have initiated contact with Lookman’s representatives, positioning him as a prime candidate to fill the void that Salah’s potential exit would create. Arsenal has also shown interest in the dynamic forward but has yet to make a formal move.
Lookman’s impressive performances have not gone unnoticed; he was ranked 14th in the 2024 Ballon d’Or standings and has been instrumental in Atalanta’s recent successes.
As the summer transfer window approaches, Lookman’s situation is poised to be a focal point in the market, with top Premier League clubs vying for his signature.
