In a dramatic twist during the final hours of the winter window, Atletico Madrid have reached an agreement with Atalanta for the transfer of Ademola Lookman.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Spanish side moved decisively after Lookmanโs potential move to Fenerbahce collapsed. The Nigerian international had previously reached a total agreement with the Turkish club, where he was set to receive a significant salary, but the deal fell through at the final hurdles.
With the path cleared, Atletico Madrid swooped in to strike a deal with the Bergamo-based club. However, while the two clubs have found common ground, the move is currently awaiting the playerโs final green light. Lookman is yet to approve the switch to the Metropolitano, as he evaluates the proposal from the Colchoneros following the disappointment of the failed Fenerbahce move.
Atalanta are prepared to sanction the departure now that their valuation has been met, but the clock is ticking for Diego Simeoneโs side to convince the winger to accept the move before the deadline.
