Ademola Lookman could be set for a potential move away from Atalanta during the upcoming January transfer window, with growing interest in the Nigerian forward from several Premier League clubs. This potential exit comes amidst reports that Lookman may be available for a transfer fee as low as €25 million, according to a report from ESPN. Such a figure would make him an attractive prospect for teams looking to bolster their attacking options mid-season.
Lookman has been a key player for Atalanta, contributing significantly to the team's success in Serie A, where he has consistently impressed with his performances. Despite being under contract with Atalanta until 2026, the 26-year-old forward is reportedly open to a "new challenge," which has fueled speculation regarding his departure from Italy. Several Premier League clubs have already expressed strong interest in bringing Lookman back to England’s top flight, where he previously played for Everton and Fulham.
According to Florian Plettenberg, the Premier League is looking like a probable destination for Lookman should he choose to make the move. His time in England, though marked by spells of development, showcased his potential, and now, after his successful stint in Italy, many clubs in the Premier League are eager to secure his services for the second half of the season.
A return to the Premier League would see Lookman re-enter one of the most competitive football leagues in the world, where his skills and experience would likely be highly valued. His departure from Atalanta would mark a significant change in the squad’s dynamics, but for Lookman, this move could provide the new challenge he seeks as he enters a crucial stage of his career.
