Atalanta haven’t yet received offers for Nigeria star Ademola Lookman.

Napoli have been linked with the latest CAF African Footballer of the Year, but have not sent an offer to sign him and are unlikely to do so in the coming weeks.

Sulemana scored two goals and provided three assists in 30 appearances with Southampton in the 2024-25 campaign, collecting over 1,000 on the pitch under Juric.
