Multiple Italian sources claim Atalanta are ready to listen to a new Fenerbahce offer for Ademola Lookman, as €40m could be enough.
Director of sport Devin Ozek is said to be in Italy for negotiations.
The Nigeria international was away for the last month at the Africa Cup of Nations, helping his side secure third place in the tournament.
Lookman’s time with Atalanta coming to a close

He had his first start for the club of 2026 in last night’s 1-0 Champions League defeat to Union Saint-Gilloise, and the time has come to discuss his future.
According to both Sportmediaset and Sportitalia in Italy, Fenerbahce have stepped up with a new proposal that is worth €9m per season wages for Lookman.
Atalanta too are ready to listen to offers after picking up Giacomo Raspadori from Atletico Madrid, meaning he is no longer required.

His contract only runs to June 2027, so he could be signed on loan with obligation to buy at the end of the season for a total package of circa €40m.
That is €5m for the six-month loan, plus the obligation to buy for a further €35m.
Lookman had pushed hard to join Inter last summer, but the asking price then was at least €50m.
