Ademola Lookman transfer: Napoli make first move for Atalanta forward amid Barcelona, Atletico Madrid interest

Italian Serie A club Napoli have tabled an offer to Atalanta for Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman, Soccernet.ng reports.

Lookman has been linked to different clubs as he is expected to leave Atalanta this summer. The former Everton man has made quite a mark in Bergamo, contributing 52 goals and 25 assists in 118 games for La Dea.

He was also key to their UEFA Europa League triumph two seasons ago, scoring a hattrick in the final.

Juventus, Napoli, Atletico Madrid, West Ham, and Arsenal appear to be the front-runners for the 27-year-old’s signature, but it is still unclear which club he will eventually move to.

Meanwhile, Napoli have started making moves to sign the Super Eagles star. According to Napoli Zone, Napoli sports director Giovanni Manna has met with Atalanta and has offered them Giacomo Raspadori plus €25 million for Lookman.

This might be an enticing deal for La Dea, as Raspadori has bags of Serie A experience. He has won two Scudettos with Napoli. Atalanta will also get to pocket €25 million.
