The Super Eagles<\/a> forward will be one of the main transfer attractions when top European clubs whip out their purses for purchases in the summer, Soccernet.ng<\/a> reports<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman<\/a> is poised for a high-profile summer transfer, with Spanish giants Atl\u00e9tico Madrid among the clubs vying for his signature.<\/p>\n Despite having a contract with Atalanta<\/a> that runs until June 2027, the Nigerian international is expected to depart Bergamo at the end of the season.<\/p>\n The Serie A club are reportedly willing to sell the 27-year-old if their \u20ac60 million (\u00a351.5m) valuation is met, with several European powerhouses monitoring the situation.<\/p>\n According to Spanish outlet Marca via Les-transferts,<\/a> Atl\u00e9tico Madrid have already opened discussions with Lookman\u2019s representatives.<\/p>\n READ MORE\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n While Diego Simeone\u2019s side reportedly believe Atalanta\u2019s asking price is steep, they are seriously considering a move after being impressed by Lookman\u2019s prolific campaign.<\/p>\n The former Charlton Athletic winger has scored 18 goals and supplied seven assists in 37 appearances across all competitions this season.<\/p>\n Lookman\u2019s resurgence in Italy comes after an underwhelming spell in English football.<\/p>\n He scored just four times in 48 matches for Everton<\/a> after arriving in 2017 and endured further struggles during loan stints at Fulham<\/a> and Leicester City.<\/p>\n However, his form has flourished since joining Atalanta permanently from RB Leipzig in 2022, racking up 50 goals and 22 assists in 110 appearances.<\/p>\n Atl\u00e9tico Madrid are not the only club interested in Lookman, with a number of elite Premier League clubs also linked with the Nigeria international.<\/p>\n Manchester United, led by incoming boss Ruben Amorim, are said to be keen on Lookman as they plan an attacking overhaul.<\/p>\n With question marks over the futures of Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Antony and Christian Eriksen, United are eager to add firepower alongside Rasmus H\u00f8jlund.<\/p>\n Amorim is said to favour Joshua Zirkzee in a deeper role, but Lookman\u2019s versatility and form have made him a viable option.<\/p>\n Several Premier League clubs \u2014 including Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Newcastle, Tottenham, and Aston Villa \u2014 are also reportedly interested in bringing the Super Eagles star back to England.<\/p>\n Barcelona have also been credited with interest but could struggle to match the financial demands involved in a deal.<\/p>\n Tensions with Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini may have accelerated Lookman\u2019s exit.<\/p>\n After a missed penalty in a 3-1 Champions League defeat to Club Brugge, Gasperini harshly criticised the forward, calling him \u201cone of the worst penalty takers I\u2019ve ever seen.\u201d<\/p>\n Lookman responded with a public statement on Instagram, voicing his disappointment.<\/p>\n With interest mounting, a summer move for the in-form Nigerian appears inevitable.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![\"Soccer](\"https:\/\/soccernet.ng\/app\/uploads\/2025\/04\/imago1060965517-750x500.jpg\")
