Liverpool are planning a summer move for Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman, according to reports from Fichajes.
The Nigerian, signed by La Dea in August 2022 for around €15 million, has since blossomed into one of Europe’s most exciting attackers.
At just 27, Lookman delivered a stellar 2023‑24 campaign: 27 goal contributions across all competitions, including a legendary hat‑trick in the Europa League final to sink Bayer Leverkusen 3‑0—ending their 51‑match unbeaten run and clinching Atalanta’s first European trophy in over six decades.
This season he’s added another 15 goals and seven assists, cementing his rise. A reported fallout with manager Gian Piero Gasperini has fans and pundits speculating on his future.
Liverpool see an opening: Lookman enters the final year of his contract next summer, making a cut‑price deal possible.
The Reds eye him as a potential replacement for Luis Díaz, who may depart in the off‑season.
Values are high. Transfermarkt pegs him at around £46m, and Fichajes reports the asking price near €60m.
Liverpool would likely need to offer at least £37–50 million, perhaps with creative incentives or packages involving players like Federico Chiesa. Competition comes from Manchester United and Chelsea, also tracking his next move as per Fichajes.net
He isn’t just numbers. Lookman brings pace, flair, versatility—and European pedigree.
Now Liverpool could act fast. This isn’t just about strengthening—they want to ride the wave while it’s high.
A calculated gamble on a player who has earned his scars and illuminated the spotlight. For Lookman, Anfield could feel more homecoming than audition.
