Ademola Lookman will be very tempted by a possible move to PSG, but Atalanta are holding firm on their asking price for the Super Eagles forward
Atalanta's Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman is currently at the center of a high-profile transfer saga, with Paris Saint-Germain and Saudi Pro League side Al Ahli showing a keen interest in a summer move.
The Serie A club has now reportedly set a hefty asking price for Lookman, who is apparently intent on a summer transfer.
PSG offer Lookman lucrative deal
Lookman has been a standout performer in recent months for Nigeria and Atalanta, leading La Dea to their first ever European trophy with a hat-trick in the 2024 Europa League final triumph.

The Nigerian’s heroics have gained the attention of PSG, whose approach has significantly irritated Atalanta, as they have not yet opened negotiations with the club and have instead gone directly to the player with an enticing offer.
The reigning Ligue 1 champions are keen to sign the Nigerian and have reportedly proposed a lucrative contract to Lookman, worth €4.5 million per season, which would more than double his current salary of €1.8 million at Atalanta.
