Manchester united transfer news
Manchester United are reportedly rivalling Paris Saint-Germain in the battle to secure the signing of Atalanta winger Ademola Lookman in the next summer window. Both clubs have reportedly tabled bids in the region of €100 million for the 27-year-old Nigerian international. Lookman has been one of the standout performers in Serie A this term, netting eight goals and providing five assists in just 14 appearances across all competitions.
Having initially found stability and success after transfers to Atalanta from the Premier League and Bundesliga, Lookman has been a man in demand from some of Europe's finest clubs. His outstanding 2023/24 season, with the icing on the cake being a hat-trick against West Ham United in the UEFA Europa League final, put him on everyone's radar. With his contract expiring in 2025, his club, Atalanta, may opt to cash in and reinvest in their squad.
According to reports, Manchester United's new manager, Ruben Amorim, sees Lookman as a perfect fit for his tactical system, valuing versatility and creativity from the player. On the other hand, PSG views him as the solution to fill in the attacking void left by Kylian Mbappé's transfer to Real Madrid. This transfer will be more serious in the coming days, since both teams want him to strengthen their squads.
Watch for developments, because the next move by Lookman might just shake the foundation of the whole of European football.
