Having impressed in the Premier League with spells at Charlton Athletic, Fulham, Everton, and Leicester City, Ademola Lookman has reinvented himself in Serie A.
The Nigerian forward has been in scintillating form for Atalanta this season, contributing eight goals and four assists, accounting for over 31% of his team’s goals.
His heroics in last season’s UEFA Europa League final, where he single-handedly secured Atalanta’s first-ever European title with a hat-trick, have cemented his reputation as one of Europe’s rising stars.
Now, Lookman is reportedly keen on a return to England, the country where his professional career began.
The Premier League Calling
For the London-born winger, a return to the Premier League represents unfinished business.
However, his recent form and Atalanta’s valuation—€50 million—mean that only a handful of clubs can realistically afford him.
Interest is reportedly brewing among Liverpool, Manchester United, and Chelsea, with each club viewing Lookman as a potential attacking reinforcement.
His versatility as a forward and his experience across multiple leagues make him an attractive proposition for top-tier sides.

European Giants Join the Race
According to Sacha Tavolieri, while the Premier League clubs lead the chase, Ademola Lookman’s performances have also caught the attention of Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain.
The Bavarians admire his pace and technical ability but recognize they are playing catch-up in negotiations.
On the other hand, Luis Campos, PSG’s sporting advisor, had reportedly reached a preliminary agreement with Atalanta, but manager Luis Enrique vetoed the move.
Atalanta Ready to Cash In
Atalanta is open to parting ways with Lookman if their asking price of €50 million is met.
The Italian club sees this as the ideal time to cash in on their star forward, especially given his current market value and rising stature in European football.
For Lookman, a move back to England would not only fulfill a personal ambition but also mark a significant step in his flourishing career.
