Atletico Madrid have reached an agreement to sign Ademola Lookman from Atalanta, MySportDab reports.
The Spanish club hijacked the deal from Fenerbahce who has been working hard to sign the player.
He was expected to make a move to Turkey, but the situation isn’t happening anymore with Atletico Madrid coming into the picture.
An agreement with Atalanta was easy but the situation dragged on with reaching personal terms.
An improved offer was made before the player started considering despite Fenerbahce massive offer in transfer and salary.
According to Fabrizio Romano, he confirmed an agreement has been reached between all parties involved.
Here Is What Was Said:
“Ademola Lookman to Atlético Madrid, here we go! The agreement is in place on every detail.
“€35m fixed fee, €5m add-ons to Atalanta and long term deal agreed by Lookman after decision last night.
“Atlético, planning now for travel and medical next for the Nigerian.
The deal is expected to be completed officially once the medical gets completed by the Super Eagles player.
Ademola Lookman is an African best player who had other clubs including Inter Milan, but Atalanta rejected immediately as they did not want to sell to a direct rival in Italy.
