Galatasaray-Lookman! Atalanta Sets Transfer Fee: He'll Wear the Jersey as Soon as This Price is Paid
Ademola Lookman, whose transfer to Inter did not materialize in the summer of 2025 due to his club Atalanta's firm stance on the transfer fee, has recently been linked with Galatasaray. With the Victor Osimhen factor also coming into play, the Atalanta management is reportedly insistent on the fee they have set.
Atalanta star Ademola Lookman has been on Galatasaray's transfer agenda for some time. The claims regarding this transfer are growing stronger daily due to the player having issues with his club Atalanta, his desire to leave, and the increasing pressure from his Nigerian National Team teammate, Victor Osimhen.

It was previously alleged that the Yellow-Reds offered the 28-year-old Nigerian forward an annual salary of 9 million Euros, and that Lookman said "Yes" to this offer. Another detail reported was that Galatasaray executives planned to bring Atalanta to a suitable ground regarding the transfer fee in the coming period.
According to news reports in the Italian press, there is one thing Galatasaray hasn't accounted for in this transfer. La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Atalanta will not change its stance on Lookman's transfer fee. The article states that even if the Yellow-Reds put pressure on the player through Osimhen, the transfer cannot happen unless they meet the determined transfer fee.

The report, which states that Victor Osimhen encouraged Ademola Lookman to say yes to Galatasaray in January, also claims that the Atalanta management is resolute regarding the set transfer fee.
Atalanta executives are said to be as determined as they were during Lookman's failed Inter transfer last summer and will not back down from the said transfer fee.
The transfer fee set by the Italian side for Lookman is a hefty 50 million Euros. The news article quotes, "It is clear that the policy in Bergamo is always the same: to sell only to the best, without damaging the technical project," emphasizing Atalanta's managerial consistency. It is suggested that things could change the moment Galatasaray puts the specified €50 million on the table.
