Liverpool are now eyeing a move to sign Atalanta winger Ademola Lookman in the summer transfer window, according to a report from Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport
Although Liverpool have enjoyed plenty of success in the Premier League, with the title looking like it could be coming to Anfield this season, they might be slightly disappointed in their performances in other competitions. As a result, we could see some reinforcements arrive through the door this summer.
The Merseyside club certainly won’t want to settle for what they’ve got despite comfortably winning the race for the Premier League, and adding more firepower to their attack could be on the agenda. Arne Slot has heavily rotated his attacking options this season, perhaps hinting that he’s not fully set on his current options.
Liverpool Eyeing Move for Ademola Lookman
A sale is ‘inevitable’ if a club offers £51m
According to a report from Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport (via Sport Witness), Liverpool are one of the sides showing an interest in signing Atalanta forward Lookman this summer. It’s understood that if an offer arrives in the region of £51m, then a sale would be ‘inevitable’.
Lookman has been a standout player for Atalanta this season and has flourished since his move to Italy. One worry surrounding the Nigerian international would be his record in England, with the 27-year-old struggling to make an impact during spells with Everton, Fulham, and Leicester City.
There’s no doubt Lookman has matured since moving abroad and has quickly developed into one of the best wingers in world football. Lookman, described as ‘world-class’ by Italian journalist Matteo Bonetti, might feel he has unfinished business in England. It might not have worked out for him the first time around, but he’s a different and more complete player than the one who departed a few years ago.
