Atlético Madrid are on the verge of completing the signing of Ademola Lookman, with the deal now entering its final stages.
The Nigerian forward has made it clear that Atlético is his preferred destination, informing all parties of his decision despite a late and improved salary offer from Fenerbahçe. His focus has remained on the Spanish side, and that stance has helped push talks forward quickly.
A verbal agreement has been reached between Atlético Madrid and Atalanta for a total package worth €40 million. The deal is understood to include a €35 million fixed fee, with a further €5 million in add-ons. Lookman has also agreed personal terms on a long-term contract following discussions held last night.
With all key details now settled, Atlético are preparing the next steps. Plans are being made for the player’s travel to Spain and the completion of his medical, which would clear the way for the move to be formally announced.
If completed as expected, the transfer will see Ademola Lookman swap Serie A for La Liga, as Atlético Madrid add another attacking option ahead of the new season.
