Ademola Lookman
Nigerian international Ademola Lookman has landed in Madrid as he edges closer to completing a move to Spanish giants Atlético Madrid. The forward is in the Spanish capital to undergo routine medical examinations ahead of the proposed transfer.
Sources close to the deal indicate that Atlético Madrid have already reached an agreement with Serie A side Atalanta for the 28-year-old attacker. While the exact financial details have not been officially disclosed, the transfer fee is believed to be in the region of €35 million, with performance-related add-ons included in the package.
Atlético reportedly moved swiftly to secure Lookman’s signature, beating off interest from Turkish club Fenerbahçe, who were also monitoring the player’s situation. The Spanish side’s decisive action appears to have given them the edge in the race for the Nigerian star.
The club has confirmed that Lookman will complete his medical tests before finalising personal terms. However, Atlético are yet to announce an official signing date as negotiations over contractual details continue behind the scenes.
Lookman enjoyed an impressive spell with Atalanta in Italy and has also stood out for Nigeria in recent international tournaments. His pace, creativity and ability to operate across the front line are expected to bolster Atlético Madrid’s attacking options as fans await the final confirmation of the deal.
