Ademola Lookman Nears Last-Minute Transfer to Fenerbahçe from Atalanta

Nigerian winger Ademola Lookman is on the verge of completing a last-minute transfer to Turkish Super Lig side Fenerbahçe from Atalanta in the January 2026 window. Fenerbahçe has intensified its pursuit of Lookman, with reports indicating that a deal is close to being finalized.

The Turkish giants have reached a personal agreement with Lookman, with negotiations involving Atalanta's sporting director, Devin Ozek. The deal is expected to include an initial loan move with a commitment to purchase the player at a later date, with the total value estimated at around €40 million.

Atalanta's stance on the potential sale has softened due to recent signings, reducing the urgency to retain Lookman despite his contract running until June 2027. Lookman's move to Istanbul represents a fresh challenge for him and an opportunity to play a central role in Fenerbahçe's push for domestic success.
