Paris Saint-Germain are preparing a bid for Super Eagle winger Ademola Lookman.
La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that the Ligue 1 giants PSG are interested in Atalanta striker and have already contacted the Nigeria international’s representatives, although he hasn’t yet received an economic offer.
Timing will be crucial in potential negotiations between the clubs as Lookman is one of Atalanta’s best players and La Dea don’t have much time available to replace the Nigerian star.
Lookman became an Atalanta legend in May when his stunning hat-trick downed German champions Bayer Leverkusen and won the traditionally provincial club their first-ever European trophy, a first major honour of any sort since 1963.
However, the 26-year-old was not included in the squad on Sunday for Atalanta’s trip south, where Gian Piero Gasperini’s side will begin their league campaign on Monday evening.
Italian media have widely reported that Lookman’s representatives have told Atalanta of PSG’s interest as the club go through an eventful summer transfer window.
PSG previously held talks with Napoli ace Victor Osimhen but are unwilling to match his €130m clause.
Atalanta make their 2024-25 Serie A debut away at on Monday.
