Last summer, Ademola Lookman, the Nigerian forward of Atalanta Bergamo, expressed his strong desire to leave the Italian club for Paris Saint-Germain. However, according to recent statements from Atalanta, PSG made a « derisory » offer that was insufficient to trigger a transfer. This refusal highlights the Bergamo club’s rigidity in keeping a key player despite growing tensions.
The situation between Lookman and Atalanta has been tense in recent months. After several unkept promises and what he considered unfair treatment, the player officially requested a transfer. Yet, the club rejected all offers, including those from top Italian clubs like Inter Milan. Atalanta sees Lookman as irreplaceable in the short term, which explains its firm stance.
On PSG’s side, no offer matching Atalanta’s demands — estimated between 50 and 60 million euros by Italian media — has been presented yet. This amount, considered high by the Parisian club, currently halts the transfer’s realization. Nevertheless, discussions remain open amid a tense environment.
Thus, the Lookman-PSG saga continues, with a player motivated to move but a club determined not to sell a prized talent cheaply. The summer of 2025 might be decisive for a much-anticipated outcome by fans on both sides.
