Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman is attracting interest from several top European clubs, including Juventus, following a public fallout with Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini.
The controversy arose after Gasperini criticized Lookman for missing a crucial penalty in Atalanta’s 3-1 defeat to Club Brugge in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night.
In response, Lookman described the remarks as disrespectful to his personality, further fueling speculation about his future at the club.
Despite the tension, the Nigerian international has been in outstanding form this season, scoring 15 goals and providing seven assists in 28 appearances across all competitions.
His performances have drawn the attention of several European clubs, with Juventus closely monitoring the situation ahead of the summer transfer window.
According to TuttoAtalanta, Juventus are considering a move for the 27-year-old and are prepared to offer around €50 million. However, Atalanta reportedly values Lookman at €60 million, meaning negotiations could be required to reach an agreement.
This could lead to tensions between both clubs, as Lookman is one of Atalanta’s top performers and a key figure in their project.
A move to Juventus would offer Lookman the chance to play for one of Italy’s biggest clubs and compete for both domestic and European honours. It would also see him play a key role in the club’s rebuilding project under new manager Thiago Motta.
With the summer window approaching, Lookman’s future remains a hot topic, and his next move will be closely followed across the European football scene.
