Report: Lookman about to play last Atalanta game as Atalanta set price tag for Super Eagles star

Super Eagles star Ademola Lookman's exit from Atalanta is all but guaranteed after recent reports indicated Atalanta's willingness to sell

Ademola Lookman's time in Bergamo could be ticking down fast, with reports in Italy suggesting Sunday's Serie A clash against Parma might be his final appearance in Atalanta colours.

The club is ready to cash in on two of its brightest stars, Lookman and Brazilian midfielder Ederson, with a combined price tag of nearly €100 million set ahead of what promises to be a busy summer transfer window.

Lookman on the brink of Atalanta exit after stellar season

Since arriving in 2022, Ademola Lookman has grown into a fan favourite at the Gewiss Stadium, producing 20 goals and seven assists in 39 appearances this season alone.

The Nigerian forward has become a key component in Gian Piero Gasperini's side, but despite his impact, it now looks like the Super Eagles star is heading for the exit door.

According to Italian publication, Gazzetta dello Sport, Atalanta are ready to entertain offers exceeding €40 million for Lookman, with several clubs reportedly interested.

Lookman's departure has been building under the radar, especially after February's Champions League exit and the heated exchange with coach Gasperini that followed. While the pair have since patched things up, the club seems poised to turn the page and reinvest the funds.

Lookman's final hurrah?

As of now, there are no confirmed bids on the table, but interest is expected to ramp up once the window opens.

Lookman is expected to feature in Atalanta's season finale against relegation-threatened Parma on Sunday, and it could mark the end of a very productive chapter in northern Italy.

Atalanta's strategy is clear ahead of the summer. La Dea plan to sell smart, reinvest cleverly, and continue competing at the top of Italian football with a refreshed squad.

A strategy that has transformed them from minnows of the Serie A to one of the most competitive teams, and has also helped them unearth gems like Lookman, Ederson, and Mateo Retegui.
