Atlético Madrid is on the verge of securing a major transfer, with a €40 million deal for Nigerian winger Ademola Lookman from Atalanta reportedly set to be completed.
According to reliable sources, Lookman has chosen Atlético’s sporting project over a lucrative, improved financial offer from Turkish side Fenerbahçe. The 28-year-old forward, coming off an exceptional season that included decisive performances in Atalanta’s Europa League victory, views Diego Simeone’s ambitious project as the perfect progression for his career.
The clubs have reportedly reached a verbal agreement on a €40 million fee, which may include performance-related bonuses. The final stages of the transfer, including medical examinations and contract signing, are scheduled to take place today.
This move would mark one of Atlético’s most significant signings, strengthening their attack ahead of a demanding schedule in La Liga and the UEFA Champions League.
Lookman, a Nigeria international with previous experience in the Premier League (Everton, Fulham, Leicester) and the Bundesliga (RB Leipzig), has been a standout performer in Serie A since joining Atalanta in 2022. His choice to join Atlético, despite more lucrative offers, highlights the magnetic appeal of Simeone’s competitive and trophy-focused environment.
The impending transfer has generated significant excitement among fans, who are already anticipating his arrival. Atlético’s sporting director, Andrea Berta, is credited with leading the negotiations to secure the deal.
