The reasons behind Atalanta and Paris Saint-Germain’s failed negotiation for Ademola Lookman have been disclosed.
Lookman became a hot cake in the transfer market this summer after an impressive season with Atalanta.

However, fresh information makes clear why the French outfit decided against making the high-profile signing.
According to TuttoMercatoWeb (h/t Le10Sport), PSG were searching for a player capable of being comparable to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Ademola Lookman fits their target.
His outstanding performance in the Europa League final made him worth approximately €55 million to the Serie A team.
PSG failed to agree with the Serie A team, despite their interest, with Atalanta deeming their offer too low for their star player.
The Super Eagles star has continued his form upon his return to the starting lineup, providing an assist and scoring the winning goal in Atalanta’s comeback win against Fiorentina.
Lookman’s performance last season earned him a spot in the Ballon d’Or 30-man list released a few weeks ago.
