Inter Milan are set to return with an improved offer for Nigerian forward and CAF player of the year Ademola Lookman.

The Serie A giants are keen to bolster their attacking options ahead of the new season and have identified Lookman as a key target. The 27-year-old has already agreed personal terms with the Nerazzurri, indicating his readiness to make the switch to the San Siro.

Last week, Atalanta rejected Inter’s initial proposal, which reportedly involved a loan deal with an obligation to buy. However, Atalanta known as La Dea are holding out for a permanent transfer worth around €50 million.

Negotiations between the two clubs are expected to continue this week as Inter prepare a revised bid to meet Atalanta’s valuation according to reports from Italy..

Meanwhile, Lookman is said to have turned down an approach from reigning Serie A champions Napoli, underlining his preference for the Inter Milan project.

Lookman joined Atalanta in 2022 from Bundesliga side RB Leipzig and has since become a crucial player for Gian Piero Gasperini’s squad. His consistent performances, pace, and eye for goal have made him one of the standout wingers in the Italian top flight.

Former Golden Eaglets starlets and pundits have encouraged the Nigeria international to seize the opportunity and embrace the challenge of playing for a top-tier club like Inter Milan.
