Spicy details revealed: Atalanta ignored Bayern’s offer | OneFootball

On Deadline Day, FC Bayern attempted to lure Ademola Lookman from Atalanta Bergamo to the Isar. As has now become known, this endeavor failed miserably.

In addition to Nicolas Jackson, who is planned as a backup for Harry Kane, Bayern wanted to sign another winger with Lookman. According to transfer insider Romano, the German record champion made a loan offer for the offensive player. The package included a purchase option worth 28 million euros.

However, the Italians showed no interest in this arrangement. According to Romano, Bergamo did not even respond to Bayern's inquiry. "Atalanta did not consider it at all. Bayern did not even receive a rejection," said Romano.

Atalanta demanded 50 million euros

According to Romano, this tough approach is due to the fact that the Munich offer was far from the demanded transfer fee. The Serie A club was reportedly hoping for a sum of around 50 million euros.

For FCB, such an investment on the last day of the transfer window was not feasible. After the already costly signings of Luis Diaz and Nicolas Jackson, the financial leeway was significantly limited. Additionally, Bayern's bosses had agreed to only strengthen the squad with loan deals.

Bayern remains thinly staffed in attack

The failed Lookman deal once again highlights the current problem in FC Bayern's offense. After numerous departures in attack, the selection of wingers for head coach Vincent Kompany is limited. Although a top player like Luis Diaz was signed, the record champion lacks alternatives in depth.

It will be interesting to see if and how Bayern's transfer policy this summer will affect the sporting successes this season.
