Atalanta has set a minimum price tag of €40m for Ademola Lookman’s transfer, amid growing frustration with Paris Saint-Germain’s approach.
PSG has offered Lookman a significant salary increase, more than doubling his current €1.8m per season, without contacting Atalanta for negotiations.
This move has angered Atalanta, particularly given the similar situation with Teun Koopmeiners and Juventus.
As a result, Atalanta is unwilling to sell Lookman for less than €40m, especially considering the late stage of the transfer window and the difficulty in finding a suitable replacement.
Lookman, who scored a hat-trick in the Europa League Final and started the UEFA Super Cup against Real Madrid, has asked to be left out of tonight’s Serie A match against Lecce, fueling speculation about his transfer. Saudi Pro League teams are also interested, but PSG is the primary cause of Lookman’s desire to leave Atalanta.
