Atalanta Set €50m Price Tag on Lookman

According to Il Corriere dello Sport, Atalanta value their star striker Ademola Lookman at €50m.

The Nigeria international has had a stunning start to the season with eight goals and five assists in 14 appearances across all competitions with Atalanta.

He was approached by Ligue 1 giants, PSG over the summer, but Atalanta eventually persuaded him to remain at the club.

The striker’s contract at the Gewiss Stadium expires in June 2026, but the Serie A side have an option to extend it for a further campaign, raising his salary to €2m per season.

Yesterday’s printed edition of Corriere dello Sport reports that any interested club will be required to pay at least €50m for the 27-year-old striker who moved to Bergamo from RB Leipzig for just €9.3m in the summer of 2022.

Atalanta is healthy financially, so the club is unwilling to sell Lookman in the January transfer window but may listen to offers in the summer.

Lookman inspired Atalanta’s Europa League victory last season with a hat-trick in the final against Bayer Leverkusen and finished 14th in the 2024 Ballon d’Or ranking.
