The final days of July are poised to be critical for the transfer of Ademola Lookman, as Inter Milan awaits a decisive period while having yet to submit an improved offer to Atalanta.
Sources with direct knowledge of the situation confirm that Inter has not presented a revised bid for the Nigerian international to Atalanta.
Inter`s Urgent Timeline for Lookman
The pivotal window for club-to-club discussions is scheduled to be between Monday, July 28th, and Wednesday, July 30th.
While some reports have circulated about Inter preparing an enhanced offer valued at €45 million, inclusive of add-ons, my sources have not validated these claims.
Furthermore, there has been no direct communication between the clubs; only informal talks involving intermediaries took place on Saturday.
Atalanta Stands Firm on Valuation
Inter is fully aware that Atalanta`s asking price for Lookman remains steadfast at €50 million. This suggests that an offer comprising €45 million upfront with an additional €5 million in bonuses should be sufficient to finalize the deal.
Consequently, the Nerazzurri are determined to conclude negotiations swiftly in the coming days, especially given that Lookman himself has prioritized a move to San Siro and is eagerly awaiting a positive outcome.
