In the final days of the transfer window, Lookman was linked to several clubs beyond just PSG, with Arsenal and Liverpool also showing interest in the 26-year-old. Since joining Atalanta in 2022, he has made quite an impact.
Last season, he played 45 matches, demonstrating his talent by scoring 17 goals and providing 10 assists. A highlight of his season was his remarkable hat-trick in the UEFA Europa League final against Bayer Leverkusen.
TuttoMercatoWeb recently reported that the Serie A side valued Lookman at around €55 million. However, the Parisians weren’t willing to meet this demand as the Ligue 1 side offered a much lower sum.
How much was PSG willing to pay for Ademola Lookman?
TuttoAtalanta (h/t Foot01) reports that PSG offered between €25 and €30 million, including bonuses, far from the €50 million that Atalanta was expecting.
With Lookman’s contract running until 2026, the club felt they didn’t need to sell him and decided to reject the offers. They’re hoping for better offers next summer, even though Lookman only has a year left on his contract.
