Fenerbahçe is seriously targeting the signing of Atalanta winger Ademola Lookman.
Details: According to Rudy Galetti, Turkish side Fenerbahçe is pushing for a loan deal with an option to buy and is already negotiating with the Bergamo club over the terms of a potential transfer. The Istanbul club is preparing an attractive contract for the player, offering a salary of around 9 million euros per year.
Lookman himself is open to a move to Turkey, but is in no rush to make a final decision. The Nigerian international is weighing all available options and offers from other clubs before deciding on his future.
Currently, Lookman is representing his national team at the Africa Cup of Nations and has already reached the quarter-finals, with a crucial match for a spot in the semi-finals against Algeria set for today, January 10. In this tournament, Ademola has already scored three goals and provided four assists.
For Atalanta this season, the Nigerian has made sixteen appearances, netting three goals and registering one assist.
Reminder: Fiorentina has officially signed Atalanta midfielder Marco Brescianini.
