Bayern made a move for Ademola Lookman

Bayern Munich did in fact explore the possibility of signing Ademola Lookman last summer. According to several sources, the German club had reached an agreement with the forward regarding a potential transfer.

But the deal fell through. Atalanta BC refused any loan offer and demanded around €50 million for a permanent transfer. No club was willing to meet that price. Bayern ultimately opted for another solution, bringing in Nicolas Jackson on loan. The striker failed to truly impress and is expected to return to Chelsea FC at the end of the season, with his future at the club still uncertain.

As for Lookman, he left Atalanta to join Atlético Madrid during the latest transfer window for around €35 million. His move further highlights the interest the player has generated on the market.
