Atalanta: Galatasaray eye Lookman, could join Osimhen in UCL | OneFootball

The transfer window in Turkey remains open until September 12, and Ademola Lookman’s future could take an unexpected turn. The Nigerian forward from Atalanta, who has been at the center of a turbulent summer session, has caught the attention of Galatasaray, who are ready to make him their new attacking signing.

Atalanta, what will happen to Lookman? Galatasaray makes a move: he could join Osimhen

According to the Turkish portal Fanatik, the Istanbul club, after finalizing the signing of Victor Osimhen, aims to create an all-Nigerian attacking duo. The deal is closely tied to the possible transfer of Baris Alper Yılmaz to Neom (Saudi Arabia): if he leaves, Lookman would become the first choice to replace him.

The rift with Atalanta and the fans’ banner

The relationship between Lookman and Atalanta broke down at the beginning of August, when the forward had reached an agreement with Inter. The Nerazzurri’s offer (€42 million plus €3 million in bonuses) was not accepted by the Percassi family, triggering the player’s reaction:

he stopped training regularly at Zingonia,

he removed all references to the club from his social media,

he publicly accused Atalanta of not honoring their promise to let him leave.

Atalanta, Lookman returns to Bergamo: solitary training at Zingonia and future still uncertain

He returned to Zingonia only in recent days, with the club considering a gradual reintegration. However, the discontent among the fans has not subsided: overnight, the ultras displayed a banner outside the training center with a clear message: “The shirt must be honored. Another screw-up will not be justified.”

Uncertain future: reintegration or new transfer?

The Bergamo club seems willing to give him a second chance, but Galatasaray’s interest could reopen negotiations in the final days of the Turkish transfer window. If the deal goes through, Lookman could find peace away from Bergamo and reunite with Osimhen, this time in the Super Lig and in the Champions League.
