Inter Milan have reportedly had an informal agreement with Nigeria international Ademola Lookman.. But the Nerazzurri must first satisfy Atalanta’s demands for the reigning African Player of the Year before a deal can proceed.. According to Corriere dello Sport on Wednesday morning confirmed that Lookman is now a ‘priority’ for Inter as they look to strengthen their forward line following the exits of Joaquin Correa and Marko Arnautovic at the end of the 2024-25 season.. Inter have been informed that Atalanta are seeking a fee in the region of €50m for the reigning African Player of the Year, but reports indicated that Inter are hoping to strike a deal for a sum in the region of €40m instead.. Now, according to Sky Sport Italia (via Football Italia) Inter already have the basis of an agreement with Lookman in place on personal terms, but that is redundant if the club are unable to come to an agreement with Atalanta over a transfer fee..
