This is the new file that will punctuate the end of the Parisian transfer window. The Italian press announced this Sunday morning that PSG had started to discuss a transfer of Ademola Lookman. The Nigerian international (23 caps), author of a very big season with Atalanta, would be a popular profile, even more so since the injury of Gonçalo Ramos against Le Havre on Friday. According to information from Sky Sportsthe player has asked his management not to be called up to Serie A this weekend to manage his transfer. A sign that things are progressing very well? Not really, since Sky Italy specifies that the Bergamo club has not received any official offer.
The player, who is therefore pushing to leave his club, thinks he is in PSG’s sights according to his entourage. If on the Italian club’s side, no negotiations have started and no offer has been sent to the Italian management, there has nevertheless been concrete progress in recent hours between Paris Saint-Germain and the player, according to our information. The lead is solid and the first signals from Ademola Lookman seem more than positive. The negotiations are in their infancy, but everything could accelerate this week.
Contacts with the player’s entourage!
What was just a rumor is starting to become a concrete file. Indeed, according to our information, Paris Saint-Germain has accelerated discussions with Ademola Lookman’s entourage in recent hours. Even if no offer has yet been sent to the Atalanta management, the profile of the Anglo-Nigerian striker greatly pleases the Parisian board. In addition, according to our indiscretions, the 26-year-old player is pushing internally to force his departure. He wants to join Paris Saint-Germain and Ligue 1 before the end of the summer transfer window. He has informed his club of his desire to wear the Parisian colors. Discussions therefore remain open between all parties with the objective of reaching an agreement quickly less than fifteen days before the deadline.
A key player in the squad for several seasons and a key player in Atalanta’s victory in the Europa League last year, Ademola Lookman could therefore find a new club after playing for Charlton, Everton, Leipzig, Fulham and Leicester. On the Bergamo side, Atalanta’s management are particularly disappointed and furious with their player’s behaviour in recent days. While Gian Piero Gasperini’s troops will play their first league match this Monday against Lecce, the player has not been called up to the squad. A sale of Ademola Lookman could nevertheless help the Lombard club complete the arrivals of Nico Gonzalez and Matt O’Riley, two major issues dragging on in the summer transfer window.
