The strong summer recruitment of Atletico Madrid continued today with the announcement of one of their top goals Johnny Cardoso, who signed a five -year -old deal with the club. However, they have more difficulty bringing one of their goals this summer.
Until now, Los Colchoneros has been successful with almost all their activities, in which the Cristian Romero of Tottenham Hotspur seems to be that they can arise. Yet they have to make up the Ante if they want to get a deal for Atalanta Vooruit breathola lookman.
Lookman is available this summer, after he fails with manager Gian Piero Gasperini. Barcelona is also an interest in Lookman, but the finances can praise them from a move. However, they have set a price tag of € 50 million for the Nigeria International, and Los Colchoneros would like to see that the reimbursement is falling before they make a move. Despite good relationships with Atalanta, Los Rojiblancos does not want to spend that much, as reported by Fabrizio Romano.
They also require further outputs before that becomes a possibility, with the name of Samuel Lino circled in red. The Brazilian saw his role reduced last season and he was offered to Premier League clubs in the hope of a lucrative deal.
However, Atletico is confronted with heavy competition for Lookman. Inter has made Lookman to their top of their priority list for the forward line, according to Gianluca di Marzio. They say that the conditions have been agreed with Lookman after conversations with his camp, and their plan is to submit an offer of € 40 million in the near future.
If Atalanta adheres to the asking price to their weapons, it can be too expensive for Atletico. Similarly, if they don't, you will look like they get the chance to move for him quickly, because Los Rojiblancos is waiting for Lino's movement. If they want to sign the 2024 African Player of the Year, it seems that they have to accelerate the process or convince the player that he wants to switch to the Metropolitano in the first place.
