Lookman Inter, the latest on the future of the Nigerian striker of Atalanta who was in the sights of the Nerazzurri club for the summer transfer market
The summer of theInter It has been characterized by many market movements, but also by nuanced occasions. One of the most significant concerns Ademola Lookmanstriker of theAtalanta who had been identified as the first goal to reinforce the offensive department available to Cristian Chivu. The Nerazzurri club had already found a draft in agreement with the entourage of the footballer, but the agreement was missing with the Bergamo club.
To clarify the negotiation he thought about it Fabrizio Romanothat on your channel YouTube reconstructed what happened: «Atalanta said no to 45 million guaranteed, including bonuses, on loan with an obligation from Inter. The club has held the same position for the whole market. When Bayern was also presented with a loan with the right to 28 million, I see that Atalanta has not even answered. An official price has never been given to Inter: those 50 million circulated were only a voice, not a written or fixed figure ».
Inter, missed opportunity for Chivu’s attack
Lookman had been identified as the ideal profile for completing the offensive department, thanks to its flexibility and the ability to play both from second tip and offensive outside. With his numbers in recent seasons in Bergamo, the Nigerian striker had earned the attention of several top European clubs. Inter had tried to force his hand with an important proposal, which would have represented one of the most consistent investments of summer.
The firm position of Atalanta, however, prevented the white smoke. The Bergamo management never wanted to open to concrete negotiations, aware of the value of its player and the central role he plays in the chessboard Ivan Juric.
For the Nerazzurri it was therefore a missed opportunity, which he forced Chivu And the management to turn on other solutions to complete the attack. The determination of Inter to invest high figures, however, testifies to the will of the club to further raise the level of the rose.
The future will say if the Lookman track can reopen in the next windows of market. For now, the regret remains for an operation that could have given Chivu a reinforcement of absolute thickness, but that collided with the insurmountable wall placed by Atalanta.
