Italian Serie A side Atalanta is engaged in a concerted effort to secure the future of their prized Nigerian winger, Ademola Lookman. The player has been the subject of intense interest from top European clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United, and Real Madrid.
Recent rumors suggested that PSG made a bid to acquire Lookman during the summer transfer window, further fueling speculation about his potential departure from Atalanta. However, the club has now decided to take proactive measures to retain him, with a new contract extension offer on the table.
The deal is expected to come with a significant salary increase, reflecting Lookman’s growing importance to the team. Valuing the 23-year-old at a range of €60-70 million, Atalanta believes that retaining him is crucial to their long-term success. These efforts also serve as a clear message to rival clubs: Atalanta is willing to fight to keep their most prized assets.
In other news, Major League Soccer (MLS) side CF Montreal announced that they will be retaining promising forward Sunusi Ibrahim for the 2025 season. The 22-year-old has impressed with 13 goals in 75 league appearances since joining the club in 2021. Ibrahim previously set the Nigerian Premier Football League on fire, becoming the top scorer with 10 goals in 22 matches in the 2019 season.
Meanwhile, CF Montreal has decided to part ways with former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Victor Wanyama. This move indicates a shift in the team’s strategy and dynamics, with the club now looking to build a more competitive roster.
