Ademola Lookman price tag revealed as Premier League clubs circle following Europa League final hat trick for Atalanta
Posted Saturday, May 25, 2024 by Goal.com
WHAT HAPPENED?
Lookman scored a superb hat-trick for Atalanta in the Europa League final, as they beat the undefeated Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 in a stunning performance. The winger, who has previously played for Everton, Fulham, and Leicester City, is attracting interest from a number of English clubs, per The Times.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Lookman could cost as much as £30m, which would mark a significant profit for the Serie A club, who paid £7m ($9m) to sign him from RB Leipzig. The winger has exploded in Italy and scored 15 goals in 2023-24, while also providing eight assists.
DID YOU KNOW?
Lookman was on loan at Leicester from RB Leipzig and the club had the option to sign him permanently for £14m ($18m) at the end of his temporary spell, but opted against triggering the clause. In 42 games for the Foxes, he scored eight goals and registered five assists.
WHAT NEXT?
Lookman could be at the centre of a bidding war this summer but there is no hint yet as to which clubs are circling. Atalanta may well be able to turn a significant profit on the winger this summer.
