The hero of the UEFA Europa League final is being called to Saudi Arabia

Saudi club Al-Ittihad has made a generous offer to Atalanta for forward Ademola Lookman. According to insider Rudy Galetti, the Saudi club has also offered the player an extravagant salary and bonuses. Negotiations between the clubs are ongoing.

Lookman recently secured his team's debut victory in the UEFA Europa League final by scoring a hat-trick against Bayer, becoming the match's hero. Despite this, the forward is not in a rush to leave Europe, but the Saudis are attempting to acquire him with substantial financial incentives.

The source reports that Atalanta has been offered €30 million, while Al-Ittihad proposes an annual salary of nearly €11 million for the player.

Lookman has been playing for Atalanta since the summer of 2022, joining from Leipzig for €9.35 million. This season, he has scored 17 goals and provided 9 assists in 45 matches for the Italian club.
