New development in the Ademola Lookman transfer!
A striking claim has been made regarding Ademola Lookman, whose name has been linked with Galatasaray since the summer transfer window. The 28-year-old forward, a close friend of Victor Osimhen from the Nigerian National Team, has made his decision about his future.
For a long time, Atalanta star Ademola Lookman has been associated with Galatasaray, and the Italian press had written that Fenerbahçe also joined the race. Reports had surfaced that the Nigerian player was open to wearing the yellow-red shirt due to having problems with his club, wanting to leave, and Victor Osimhen wanting to see him as a teammate.
The details of the offer made by Galatasaray to Ademola Lookman whom they have been trying to convince through Osimhen and aim to add to the squad in January had also come to light. Accordingly, the yellow-reds had offered the 28-year-old Nigerian forward an annual salary of 9 million euros and began waiting for a response. However, Atalanta reporter Alessandro Giovanni Pagliarini put forward a new claim regarding the transfer.

In a post on his X account, Pagliarini said:"Apparently, Lookman's departure in the short term is not seen as a concrete possibility. Despite Turkey's long-standing interest—including Galatasaray—Ademola has reintegrated with Atalanta, and at this stage, there is no active/advanced negotiation before January. Palladino wants him in the team. Palladino really likes the Nigerian, and despite the serious offer from Turkey, he is focused on Atalanta."
Meanwhile, the Serie A club also shared one of Lookman’s goals against Napoli on its social media accounts.
Esenler Erokspor’s Nigerian footballer Olarenwaju Kayode said that if his compatriot Ademola Lookman whose name has been linked with Galatasaray—consulted him, he would recommend that he join the yellow-red team. Kayode said, "At the same time, playing together with Osimhen would set Galatasaray on fire and create a fantastic attacking line."
