The report also claims Lookman is aware that this is his last season in Bergamo, with PSG, Juventus, Manchester United, Liverpool, and Newcastle waiting on developments.
Journalist Patrick Iannarelli wrote; "Lookman knows his future is away from Bergamo,"
There is no doubt that the 27-year-old will be an incredible signing for whichever team he joins, as his ability to score and create at a high level remains a vital asset.
Lookman joined Atalanta in a €9m deal from RB Leipzig in 2022. He has 17 goals and seven assists in 29 appearances across all competitions this term.
