Napoli Move To Hijack Inter’s Pursuit Of Ademola Lookman With €52m Bid

Napoli has made a move to disrupt Inter's pursuit of Ademola Lookman by submitting a €52 million bid, according to Italian outlet SportMediaset. Atalanta had previously rejected two formal bids from Inter for Lookman, with the Nerazzurri eventually returning with an improved proposal.

However, Atalanta stood firm on their €52 million valuation, leading to prolonged negotiations that prompted Lookman to push for a transfer. The Super Eagles star reportedly refused to attend training sessions in a bid to force a move.

Napoli is now looking to capitalize on Inter's withdrawal from the pursuit, with transfer market analyst Luca Cerchione revealing that the reigning Serie A champions are ready to meet Atalanta's demands. This development is significant as Lookman had already reached personal terms with Inter.

Atalanta, on the other hand, is concerned about losing another key attacker, with top scorer Mateo Retegui reportedly considering a move to Saudi Arabia. Napoli's willingness to.
