Atalanta turn down Bayern Munich’s offer for Ademola Lookman

Atalanta have reportedly turned down an offer from Bayern Munich for Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman.

According to multiple sources, the German champions submitted a proposal for a paid loan deal with an option to buy for €28 million at the end of the season. However, Atalanta are holding out for a permanent transfer worth around €50 million and are not interested in a loan arrangement.

Tottenham Hotspur and Galatasaray are also said to be monitoring the situation and could submit direct bids for the 26-year-old.

Lookman, who had a standout season with Atalanta, was reportedly promised a move this summer—but only to a club outside Serie A. This clause led Atalanta to reject an earlier €42 million plus €3 million in bonuses offer from Inter Milan.

Tensions have escalated in recent weeks, with reports claiming Lookman has been training separately after going AWOL for a period in protest over his stalled transfer.
