Liverpool are interested in a summer move for Ademola Lookman and they could be willing to offer a player to sign the Nigerian.
The forward has sparkled at Atalanta over the past two seasons and scored 19 times in all competitions this season. Last season, he scored 17 goals and played a crucial role in the Italian club’s historic Europa League title win.
His future is now up in the air and Liverpool are a key candidate to land him.
Quotidiano Sportivo have reported that the Reds tried to sign the 27-year-old last summer but ended up signing Federico Chiesa instead. Now, Arne Slot’s side ‘will return to the attack’ for the Atalanta star.
With the Italy international struggling for game time, they see Lookman as a potential replacement and could offer Chiesa in a potential move.
The indication is that Atalanta are unlikely to make any discounts for the Nigeria international, who is also attracting interest from Arsenal and Manchester United. They want a fee of €60m to sell him and that is why Liverpool are looking to offer Chiesa in their approach.
The ex-Juventus star interests Atalanta and it remains to be seen if they would want him in a separate deal or not.
