Will Ademola Lookman Sign A New Atalanta Contract After Transfer U-Turn?

The latest Ademola Lookman contract update has revealed that Atalanta are deciding whether to offer the forward new terms in Bergamo. 

Lookman has been one of the standout stars in Serie A over recent seasons. The Nigeria international has proven to be one of Europe’s finest forwards after he notched a stunning hat-trick in the 2023-24 Europa League final.

However, the 27-year-old tried to force a move away from the Gewiss this summer which ultimately failed. Now, Lookman has been slowly reintegrated back into the Ivan Juric’s squad.

Ademola Lookman Contract Update

After Ademola Lookman was included in Atalanta’s Champions League squad, it became apparent that he would feature for the Dea this term.

Lookman’s relationship was certainly fractured with the club and supporters after he tried to engineer a move away. However, the 27-year-old made his return in the 3-0 win over Torino on September 21.

Having spoken to head coach Ivan Juric as well as owner Stephen Pagliuca, Lookman’s transfer saga is considered closed and a new contract is in the pipeline.

His current deal expires in 2027. Therefore, it’s likely that the duration of his new deal wouldn’t be extended. Lookman’s basic salary would increase with a sell-on clause inserted.

After Inter’s well-publicized pursuit ultimately failed, Ademola Lookman was linked with a Premier League return. That too failed to come to fruition so the 27-year-old was left with no option but to stay with Atalanta.

The Nigerian international criticized the club but head coach Ivan Juric revealed that Lookman admitted he was badly advised during the summer window.

Naturally, Juric wants Lookman to remain in Bergamo for as long as possible. His transfer saga appears to have been put to bed. Furthermore, Lookman has also spoken to his team-mates and everyone at the club is looking forward to a repaired and healthy relationship.

A move away from the Gewiss in the summer cannot be completely ruled out. Nonetheless, Lookman will not be sold in January so both club and player can focus on the 2025-26 campaign.

How Many Goals Has Ademola Lookman Scored For Atalanta?

In his 119 appearances for Atalanta across all competitions, Ademola Lookman has scored 52 times. The African Player of the Year has also chipped in with 25 assists.

Lookman’s most successful individual season in Italy came in 2024-25. The forward scored 15 Serie A goals and five in the Champions League.

His most memorable feat came in the final of the 2023-24 Europa League. Lookman scored his first career hat-trick to inflict a 3-0 defeat on Bayer Leverkusen who hadn’t suffered a defeat that season until the finale in Dublin.

That catapulted Lookman into Atalanta folklore. Although his transfer saga tainted his reputation with supporters, all will be forgiven if he pens a new deal and gets back to doing what he does best. Scoring goals.
