Italian club Atalanta are eager to secure Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman with a lucrative new contract worth €3.5 million (₦6.35 billion) annually, nearly doubling his current €2.3 million yearly salary as revealed by Atalanta BC News.
The proposed deal would extend his stay beyond 2026, with added bonuses aimed at retaining the 27-year-old amid interest from European giants like PSG, Arsenal, and Liverpool.
Lookman’s Remarkable Impact at Atalanta
Since joining Atalanta from RB Leipzig two years ago, Lookman has transformed into a crucial player for the Bergamo-based club.
His performance this season has been especially impressive, with 12 goals and five assists in just 13 appearances. Overall, he has scored 40 goals and assisted 23 times across 91 games for La Dea.

Potential Earnings and Rank Among Atalanta’s Highest Paid Players
If Lookman accepts the new offer, he would become the fourth highest-paid player at Atalanta, trailing only Gianluca Scamacca, Nicolo Zaniolo, and Ben Godfrey.
The new contract would not only reflect his on-field contributions but also reaffirm Atalanta’s commitment to holding onto key players as they seek to solidify their presence in Serie A and European competitions.
Lookman’s decision will be closely watched, as he contemplates either extending his stay in Bergamo or possibly exploring a move to a top European side in the future.
