Liverpool are reportedly keen on a move for Ademola Lookman, seeing the forward as a possible successor to Luis Diaz.
The interest comes as tensions rise between Lookman and Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini following a public dispute over a missed penalty in the Champions League.
The 27-year-old’s journey has been full of ups and downs, with a disappointing stint at Everton and RB Leipzig. However, since joining Atalanta, Lookman has rediscovered his form, becoming a key figure for the Serie A side. With 47 goals and 23 assists in 106 appearances, Lookman was named Atalanta’s player of the season for the last two campaigns.
Despite his success, his recent fallout with Gasperini has turned heads, including Liverpool’s. The manager publicly criticized Lookman for his penalty miss, calling him “one of the worst penalty takers” he’s seen. In response, Lookman defended himself on social media, emphasizing his dedication to the team and fans.
Liverpool’s interest in the forward could spark a move away from Atalanta as Lookman’s future remains uncertain.
