Ademola Lookman’s stunning performance in the Europa League final has sparked Premier League interest, with the Atalanta winger potentially commanding a £30 million price tag this summer.
The English forward shone brightly as Atalanta secured a resounding 3-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League final, netting a remarkable hat-trick. Lookman’s exploits have reportedly caught the attention of several English clubs, according to The Times.
Atalanta, who acquired Lookman from RB Leipzig for £7 million, could stand to make a substantial profit on the player, given his impressive form in Italy. Throughout the 2023-24 season, Lookman found the back of the net 15 times and contributed eight assists.
Interestingly, during his loan stint at Leicester City from RB Leipzig, the Foxes had the option to secure Lookman’s services permanently for £14 million. However, they chose not to exercise this option despite Lookman’s decent record of eight goals and five assists in 42 appearances.
With speculation swirling around his future, Lookman could find himself at the center of a bidding war in the upcoming transfer window. While the specific clubs vying for his signature remain undisclosed, Atalanta appears poised to capitalize on the winger’s heightened market value.
