The "Colchoneros" have decided to go head-to-head with the Neapolitans in pursuit of Atalanta's forward.
Details: According to Corriere dello Sport, the Madrid club has entered the race for the 27-year-old Nigerian international.
It is reported that Atalanta has made it crystal clear to both suitors: they will not let their star man go for less than €60 million, and without an offer matching that figure, any transfer negotiations are off the table.
Atletico has accepted these terms and is ready for substantive talks with the Italian club's management.
Last season, Ademola Lookman made 40 appearances for Atalanta across all competitions, scoring 20 goals and providing 7 assists.
The Nigerian's current contract with Atalanta runs until 2027, and his market value, according to Transfermarkt, stands at €60 million.
