Manchester United have reportedly entered the battle to sign Atalanta’s star attacker, Ademola Lookman. The Nigerian international, currently enjoying a standout season in Serie A, has attracted interest from European heavyweights, including Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.
Caught Offside reports that United are closely monitoring the €60-70 million-rated forward, eyeing him as a key reinforcement for their attack. Lookman, known for his pace and clinical finishing, has become a vital player for Atalanta, leading to talks of a potential contract extension. However, uncertainty around his future could open the door for a big-money move.
While a January transfer appears unlikely, the summer window could be pivotal as clubs vie for Lookman’s signature. With Erik ten Hag’s departure and Ruben Amorim now in charge, Manchester United could see Lookman as a statement signing to bolster their attacking options.
Whether United can outmaneuver Real Madrid and PSG in the transfer market remains to be seen, but Lookman’s growing reputation ensures his future will be one of next summer’s hottest stories.
