Atalanta eye Zalewski as Inter open to sale, not linked to Lookman | OneFootball

Atalanta is closely monitoring Nicola Zalewski, the Polish winger currently at Inter. The Bergamo club, in search of reinforcements on the flanks to meet Ivan Juric's requests, has already made a positive initial inquiry with the Nerazzurri management.

Atalanta, Orobici eye Zalewski: Inter open to sale, separate negotiation from Lookman case

The class of 2002 player arrived in Milan in the last winter transfer window and was redeemed by Inter in June for 6.5 million euros paid to Roma. Despite the investment, the Nerazzurri management does not consider the player untouchable and has opened up to a possible negotiation. In the coming hours, Atalanta might formalize a first official offer.

An independent operation from Lookman

The potential transfer of Zalewski is not linked to the fate of Ademola Lookman, currently at the center of one of the most discussed negotiations of the summer. Inter, after the initial approach was rejected by the Percassi family, has not made another bid for the Nigerian forward. The trail has cooled, also due to the Nerazzurri's priority to focus their resources on a midfield addition.

Strategies compared

Inter: considering Zalewski's exit to free up space in the squad and financial resources, without lowering their demands for Lookman.

Atalanta: ready to take advantage of the situation to add a young, versatile player with international experience, capable of immediately integrating into Juric's lineup.

The feeling is that the coming days could be decisive in determining whether the negotiation will have room for concrete development.
