INTER GIVE ATALANTA DEADLINE TO DECIDE ON LOOKMAN DEAL

By: Gyang Dakwo

Inter Milan have told Atalanta to make up their minds quickly in the transfer talks for Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman.

Reports from FCInterNews say Inter want a clear answer to their latest offer by Friday. Even though Lookman has already agreed to join them, the talks between both clubs have taken longer than expected.

Atalanta had earlier rejected Inter’s first offer of 40 million euros because they want 50 million euros for the 27-year-old. So, Inter came back with a second offer on Tuesday.

This time, they offered 45 million euros and also made changes to the type of deal. They are no longer looking to sign Lookman on loan with a promise to buy later. Now, they just want to sign him permanently and get the deal done.

But Atalanta have still not replied, and inter are starting to get tired of the slow pace. They do not want to be dragged into long talks, so they have now given Atalanta a deadline.

They are asking the Bergamo club to respond by Friday, or they will move on to other players.
