Nigeria's Ademola Lookman could be on his way out of Bergamo, as the Atalanta hierarchy have reportedly softened their stance on his sale.
Atalanta are reportedly prepared to let Ademola Lookman leave next summer and have now set a price tag for the Nigeria international.
The 27-year-old is Atalanta’s ace, as he led them to their first title in over 60 years with his Europa League final hattrick against Bayer Leverkusen; hence, they resisted selling him last summer amid serious interest from top European clubs.

Atalanta ready to sell
While the La Dea leadership proved difficult to reach a bargain with a few months ago, frustrating the likes of Paris Saint-Germain, who had reached an agreement of personal terms with the player, their stance is now said to have softened as they are now willing to part with the wantaway star.
According to a report from Totto Atalanta, however, they do not plan to sell the Nigerian for cheap, as they have slapped a €60 million price tag on him. They plan to reinvest about half the money they plan to recoup from Lookman’s sale on a younger winger.
Lookman ready to leave
The former England U-21 international has been a sort of journeyman throughout his career, having played for six clubs already. Lookman has never been afraid of upwardly mobile transfer moves; hence, he tried to force a move to PSG last summer.
As Pulse Sports reported, Lookman has not given up on his PSG desire, as he has a valid agreement on personal terms with the French champions and will push to leave again next summer.
