Ademola Lookman Transfer to Inter Milan heats up as Nerazzurri plan to raise their bid to €45m. The Nigerian has agreed terms and is keen on San Siro move

Ademola Lookman Transfer to Inter Milan is gaining serious traction as the Serie A giants prepare to increase their offer to €45 million next week.

This move marks a major push by Inter Milan, who are determined to sign the Nigerian international before the new season begins.

Inter’s initial €40m bid was rejected by Atalanta, who are holding out for €50m.

However, a new twist emerged when Corriere dello Sport editor Ivan Zazzaroni revealed that Inter, backed by a €100m summer budget from Oaktree Capital, have prioritized Lookman as their top attacking target.

“Oaktree have made €100 million available… Lookman is their priority,” Zazzaroni posted. He added that “next week Inter will raise their offer to €45 million,” leaving the decision to Atalanta CEO Antonio Percassi and Lookman himself.

Despite earlier reports suggesting Inter wouldn’t go higher, this increase signals a clear shift in stance as they aim to close the deal quickly.

Lookman has already agreed to personal terms—reportedly a multi-year contract worth €4m net per year—and has turned down advances from Barcelona, Atlético Madrid, and Napoli.

Napoli attempted to engineer a swap involving Giacomo Raspadori, but Lookman declined. Barcelona, hampered by financial restrictions, also missed out.

With Lookman now close to full fitness, Inter’s determination to secure him shows both strategic planning and growing urgency.
