In a major twist in the summer transfer window, Nigerian international and Serie A standout Adelola Lookman has given the green light to a move to Inter Milan. The high-flying forward has reportedly agreed to personal terms with the Nerazzurri, signaling his intent to don the black and blue of Inter in the upcoming season.
The deal, however, now hinges on Atalanta's final decision, as negotiations between both clubs continue behind closed doors. Inter have submitted a formal proposal and are optimistic about reaching an agreement soon, with club sources indicating that they’re eager to finalize the move as quickly as possible.
Lookman, who was a revelation last season for Atalanta, notched up an impressive tally of goals and assists, becoming a key figure in Gian Piero Gasperini’s attack. His pace, flair, and direct approach made him one of the most feared forwards in the league, earning him attention from several top clubs across Europe. But it is Inter Milan who have won the player’s heart.
“Adelola has given a clear yes to Inter,” said a source close to the negotiations. “He is ready for the next big step, and Inter is a project that excites him.”
With Inter looking to bolster their attacking options following a reshuffle of their forward line, Lookman is seen as a perfect fit for manager Simone Inzaghi’s dynamic system. His ability to play across the front line and his proven Serie A experience give Inter a valuable asset in both domestic and European competitions.
Atalanta, on the other hand, are weighing their options. While the club values Lookman highly and understands his desire to take the next step, they are holding out for the right financial package before greenlighting the transfer.
