Abdullah Kavukcu, who oversees Galatasaray’s transfer operations, was asked about the club’s progress during ongoing negotiations. Without revealing a name, he said: “There are many valuable players reaching out to us. We will take the necessary steps.”
It was quickly learned that the player in question was Lookman. Following a dispute with his coach, the 28-year-old winger conveyed his desire to join Galatasaray through his national teammate Osimhen.
Despite a recent coaching change at Atalanta, Lookman’s decision remains unchanged. Galatasaray have now accelerated their efforts to complete the transfer.
However, the Istanbul club aims to keep the overall cost as low as possible. The two sides have reportedly agreed on an annual salary of €9 million, while negotiations with Atalanta over the transfer fee are expected to be tough.
