Lookman: An Impossible Reinforcement for Atlético?
Atlético de Madrid is clear about the type of player they need to take a leap in quality: a sharp, vertical left winger with dribbling skills, overflowing talent, goal-scoring ability, and assists. A footballer like Ademola Lookman, the Nigerian star from Atalanta.
However, his signing seems complicated due to his high price, close to 60 million euros. Lookman has proven his worth with stellar performances, such as the hat-trick in the Europa League final against Bayer Leverkusen, and his numbers in Bergamo speak for themselves: 50 goals and 24 assists in 114 matches.
This performance has attracted the attention of major European clubs such as Liverpool, Manchester United, Juventus, and Chelsea, which further hinders his arrival at the Metropolitano.
Despite the good relations between Atlético and Atalanta, demonstrated in the past with the signing of Musso, and the fact that the player could be on the market due to his relationship with coach Gasperini, his high cost makes him an almost unattainable dream for Los Rojiblancos. It is not the first time that Atlético has encountered this obstacle with players from Atalanta, as Ederson was also considered last year, but his prohibitive price prevented his signing.
