Ademola Lookman wants Inter and Inter would like Ademola, but Atalanta is in the middle and now, perhaps, another club is complicating an already difficult story.

If this eternal story between Inter and Atalanta for Ademola Lookman were to materialize, it would be one for the history books, stories to be told by the fireside on a winter night.

Because a relationship long concluded between the Bergamo team and the English (naturalized Nigerian) striker seems to be one of those epic tales worthy of the best storytellers. Just think about when it all started: it has been several months since Gasperini (then coach of La Dea) said that Lookman doesn’t know how to take penalties.

A few words that mark a before and after; it’s a fracture between coach and player, and since then Ademola (born in 1997 with a great sense of goal) decides that his adventure in black and blue is over. Then, ironically, who starts knocking on his door? The other black and blue team, the one from Milan, the one with the Biscione, Internazionale. And then everything changes.

Ademola thinks about it a bit, but not too much, and it’s clear that, for him, it would be perfect to make this leap, but things start to get complicated.

At this point, Atalanta realizes that they can make a great move because Ademola may not know how to take penalties, but he is a player who scores a lot.

Inter and Lookman, but what would the story be without giving the numbers?

After all, he has scored 15 goals this season, playing football at a consistently high level. So, Atalanta asks for 50 million euros, but Inter wants to try to lower the amount.

From that moment, the counterproposal comes at 40 million euros, but Atalanta says “no thanks,” and the wheel starts turning again while the mood of Ademola becomes more restless. The player no longer wants to stay and now he already imagines himself house-hunting in Milan.

In this deadlock, it seems that Inter has thought about raising the offer, increasing it to 42-43 million euros plus some bonuses to be added that would bring the total to 45 million.

Yet now it seems that the battle may see the entry of another club: that Atletico Madrid of Simeone who, after selling Samuel Lino, desires Lookman. Who knows if Cholo will be able to put an end to this (almost) endless story!
