Inter Milan are reportedly preparing to raise their bid for Ademola Lookman, with the new offer expected to exceed €45 million in fixed fees, along with performance-related bonuses that could bring the total value of the deal close to €50 million.
This renewed effort comes after Atalanta rejected Inter's earlier proposal of €42 million plus €3 million in add-ons. The Serie A club are holding out for a higher valuation for the Nigerian international, who enjoyed an outstanding campaign under manager Gian Piero Gasperini last season.
Lookman was one of the standout performers in Serie A, netting 15 goals and contributing 5 assists across 31 appearances. His dynamic style of play, creativity on the ball, and clinical finishing have attracted attention from top clubs, with Inter now leading the race for his signature.
The 26-year-old winger is seen as a vital target by new Inter head coach Cristian Kiwu, who is looking to strengthen his attacking options ahead of the 2025/26 season. Kiwu believes Lookman’s pace, versatility, and experience in Italian football make him an ideal addition to Inter's front line.
Negotiations between the two clubs are ongoing, and Inter remain confident that a deal can be finalized in the coming days, provided both parties reach an agreement on the structure of the transfer package.
