Last summer, Paris Saint-Germain showed interest in Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman, but no deal came together. However, a recent report suggests the Ligue 1 club remains interested in signing the Nigerian standout.
Sky Sport Germany’s Florian Plettenberg reported in October that Lookman is open to a new challenge, sparking speculation about a potential move in the winter transfer window.
Meanwhile, TEAMtalk previously reported that West Ham United is among several clubs keeping an eye on the Atalanta winger.
With multiple Premier League teams considering a move, Atalanta is reportedly asking for more than £60 million.
Are Liverpool a serious contender for Ademola Lookman?
After Atalanta was knocked out of the UEFA Champions League, Gian Piero Gasperini criticized Lookman for his missed penalty in their 3-1 loss to Club Brugge. Lookman later responded to his coach on social media.
As Lookman appears to be on the way out, Fichajes reports that the attacker is on Liverpool’s radar should Luis Diaz leave Anfield in the summer.
The report suggests the Reds are aware that the Colombian’s departure is a real possibility, with multiple teams showing interest in him. As a result, the club’s sporting management is exploring options in the market, and Lookman is a strong candidate.
He fits the profile they’re looking for—a quick, skillful winger who can take on defenders one-on-one. Plus, his Premier League experience with Leicester City and Fulham works in his favor.
