Arsenal and Juventus Circle Ademola Lookman as Atalanta Exit Nears

Start

Find out the latest Ademola Lookman transfer news, with Arsenal and Juventus among those circling the Atalanta winger, who is set to leave this summer.

Is Lookman Leaving Atalanta?

Lookman could be set to play his final game for Atalanta, as the club prepares to cash in on one of its most prized assets. Multiple sources in Italy and across Europe report that the Europa League-winning winger is available for transfer this summer, with Atalanta demanding €40–60 million.

The 27-year-old Nigeria international has had a standout campaign, scoring 20 goals and providing 7 assists in 39 appearances. That form has drawn the attention of major European clubs, particularly in the Premier League.

Lookman Arsenal Transfer News

According to Sky Sport DE, Arsenal have entered the race for Lookman due to his versatility and goal-scoring threat. Although Real Madrid’s Rodrygo remains their top target, Arsenal are holding “numerous talks” and Lookman has emerged as a serious alternative.

With Mikel Arteta looking to strengthen his attacking options, Lookman’s proven output in Italy and familiarity with English football — after spells at Everton, Fulham, and Leicester — make him an attractive prospect.

Who Could Lookman Sign For?

Outside of Arsenal, Juventus are also reportedly in the mix for Lookman — although their long list of attacking targets may delay any concrete moves for the Nigerian.

Italian outlets suggest the Bianconeri are intrigued by his pace and eye for goal, particularly given their need to rejuvenate their front line.

Elsewhere, Liverpool, Manchester United, and West Ham have registered interest, although a return to England may hinge on Champions League qualification — something only Liverpool and Arsenal can guarantee.

Lookman Atalanta Contract

Lookman’s contract runs until June 2026, but a renewal is off the table following a public fallout with coach Gian Piero Gasperini over a missed penalty earlier this season.

Despite repairing their relationship since, Lookman’s departure now seems inevitable, with the winger described as “70% out” by sources close to him, according to SCORENigeria.

Atalanta are actively scouting replacements, including Feyenoord’s Igor Paixao and Lyon’s Rayan Cherki.

They also plan to offload midfielder Ederson, with the club hoping to generate around €100 million combined in transfer revenue for both players.

Will Parma Be Lookman’s Last Game?

Atalanta’s final Serie A game of the season against Parma is expected to be Lookman’s final game for the club.

After helping the club secure third place and UEFA Champions League qualification, the former CAF Player of the Year could now be preparing for the biggest move of his career.

If Atalanta receives a suitable offer — likely north of €40 million — a summer transfer looks certain. Arsenal and Juventus remain the frontrunners, though other Premier League clubs could yet make a late push.
