Nigerian Winger Ademola Lookman Demands 100% Salary Increase in Galatasaray Transfer Talks

Nigerian footballer Ademola Lookman is pushing for a 100% salary hike in negotiations with Galatasaray as he seeks to leave his current club, Atalanta. The 28-year-old winger, who currently earns €4.6 million per year, has attracted interest from the Turkish club after a failed attempt by Galatasaray to sign him previously.

Lookman's desire to depart Italy has intensified following a fallout with Atalanta's management, which stemmed from a collapsed transfer to Inter Milan in the summer. Reports suggest that Lookman's Super Eagles teammate, Victor Osimhen, is actively encouraging his move to Galatasaray.

The Turkish club is said to be preparing a formal offer to meet Lookman's financial demands and secure his transfer from Atalanta.
