Inter Milan Targets Ademola Lookman as Key Summer Signing
Inter Milan has set its sights on Atalanta striker Ademola Lookman as a top priority in the 2025 summer transfer window. The club sees the Nigerian forward as a strong addition to boost their attacking power for the upcoming season. Tensions between Lookman and Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini have fueled speculation about his departure, creating an opportunity Inter is eager to seize.
Lookman’s record at Atalanta has been impressive, contributing 52 goals and 25 assists across 118 appearances since joining from RB Leipzig. Despite his performance, recent friction within the club has raised doubts about his future in Bergamo. Inter is closely monitoring the situation, aiming to secure the 27-year-old’s services and strengthen their squad depth under Simone Inzaghi.
Reports suggest Inter is preparing an official bid, initially targeting a €35 million deal, although Atalanta is reportedly demanding €50 million. Inter's interest in Lookman highlights their
commitment to reinforcing the attack after parting ways with players like Marko Arnautovic and Joaquin Correa, and potentially losing Mehdi Taremi as well. The club views Lookman as a long-term solution who fits both their tactical and competitive needs.
To ensure flexibility, Inter has also shortlisted alternatives such as Lois Openda from RB Leipzig, Christopher Nkunku from Chelsea, and AS Monaco’s young talent Eliesse Ben Seghir. Alongside pursuing new signings, Inter is also rebuilding internally by acquiring Ange-Yoan Bonny and recalling Francesco Pio Esposito. These moves underline the club’s aggressive strategy to revamp its frontline and maintain its dominance in Italian football.
