This is the latest transfer standoff between Ademola Lookman and Atalanta – the Italian club wish he moves to Atletico Madrid, while the Super Eagles star has already chosen Fenerbache.
Atalanta have agreed to receive 35 million euros plus an additional five million in add-ons from Atletico Madrid, same as Fenerbache offered.
According to Transfer Expert Yagiz Sabuncuoglu, the Italian club have not demanded a down payment or bank guarantees for this transfer fee from Atletico as they have asked Fenerbache.
Atalanta and Atletico have done some transfer business recently, like the move of Giacomo Raspadori to Spain last summer.
The back breaker is that Ademola Lookman will only earn half of what he agreed with Fenerbache at the Spanish club and he has since insisted he does not wish to transfer to Spain.
‘Mola’ has agreed an annual salary of nine million euros with Fenerbache, which is thrice what he currently earns at Atalanta.
According to Transfer Expert Nicolo Schira, Ademola Lookman today trained separate from the main squad and will not be named on the matchday squad for tomorrow’s Serie A game at Como.
Last summer, he also agreed personal terms with Inter Milan, but Atalanta were only open to selling him to a club outside Italy.
