Liverpool Eyes Ademola Lookman for £50.7 Million Summer Transfer
Liverpool is preparing a significant offer of £50.7 million for the Atalanta forward, Ademola Lookman, to strengthen their attack this summer.
Lookman, who is 26 now, has flourished under Gian Piero Gasperini at Atalanta, following his inconsistent spells at Everton, Fulham, RB Leipzig, and Leicester City.
Last season, Lookman impressed with 17 goals and 10 assists in 45 appearances. His outstanding performance was in the Europa League final, where he scored a hat-trick against Bayer Leverkusen, securing Atalanta’s first major trophy in over 60 years.
Liverpool’s new manager, Arne Slot, is eager to add Lookman’s versatility and goal-scoring ability to the squad. A source close to the club stated, “Lookman fits perfectly into our playing style. His agility and creativity will provide a significant boost to our attacking options.”
Former Liverpool player John Barnes praised the potential signing, saying, “Lookman’s maturity and performance in Serie A make him an excellent addition. He has the talent to thrive at Liverpool.”
The Reds’ pursuit of Lookman underscores their ambition to compete at the highest levels in both domestic and European competitions. Fans are eagerly anticipating the deal’s completion, hopeful that Lookman will bring his dynamic play to Anfield.
