Atalanta reject Bayern Munich’s bid for Ademola Lookman

 

Atalanta have reportedly rejected a bid from Bayern Munich for Nigerian forward, Ademola Lookman.


According to multiple reports, the Bundesliga champions proposed a paid loan deal with an option to buy at the end of the season for €28 million

Atalanta are said to be holding out for around €50 million and prefer a permanent transfer rather than a loan arrangement. Tottenham Hotspur and Galatasaray are also monitoring the situation and could make direct offers for the player.

Lookman, who enjoyed a standout season with Atalanta, was promised a potential transfer this summer but only to a club outside Italy. This led to the rejection of a €42 million plus €3 million bonus proposal from Inter Milan.

The forward has reportedly been training separately after going AWOL for several weeks in protest over his transfer situation.
