Manchester United has stepped up its pursuit of Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman from Atalanta. The Premier League club aims to strengthen its attack, with Lookman reportedly preferring a return to England. Atalanta values the player at €60 million.
Manchester United is making strong moves to secure the signing of Nigerian international Ademola Lookman ahead of the summer transfer window. The Atalanta forward has attracted attention from multiple Premier League clubs, but reports suggest United are now leading the chase.
Lookman, who previously played in England, is believed to favor a return to the Premier League over staying in Italy or moving elsewhere. Juventus has also shown interest in the 27-year-old, but his preference seems clear.
United are reportedly keen to rebuild their attacking options for the upcoming season and view Lookman as a key target. However, the deal won't come cheap — Atalanta have placed a hefty €60 million price tag on the Super Eagles star.
Lookman is under contract with Atalanta until June 2026, with an option for a further year, giving the Serie A side leverage in negotiations.
As Manchester United works to strengthen their squad under new leadership, Lookman’s explosive pace and goal-scoring ability could be crucial to their plans. The summer transfer market promises to be a busy one, and securing Lookman would mark a major statement of intent by the Red Devils.
Fans will be eagerly watching developments as Manchester United push to bring the exciting forward back to English football.
