Reigning Europa League champions Atalanta have set €50million value on Super Eagles striker Ademola Lookman, reports BSNSports.com.ng.

The Nigerian contract at the Gewiss Stadium expires in June 2026, but the Serie A side have an option to extend it for a further campaign, raising his salary to €2m per season.

Recall Lookman was approached by Ligue 1 giants PSG over the summer, but Atalanta eventually persuaded him to remain at the club.

According to Il Corriere dello Sport, any interested club will be required to pay at least €50m for the 27-year-old striker who moved to Bergamo from RB Leipzig for just €9.3m in the summer of 2022.

The Nigeria international has had a stunning start to the season with eight goals and five assists in 14 appearances across all competitions with Atalanta.

Atalanta is healthy financially, so the club is unwilling to sell Lookman in the January transfer window but may listen to offers in the summer.
