Lookman's Atletico Struggles vs. Bayern
3 Nov
Summary
- Bayern Munich pursued Ademola Lookman in summer 2025.
- Lookman joined Atletico Madrid for €35 million.
- He struggles for form, with few goal contributions recently.
In the summer of 2025, Bayern Munich sought to strengthen their attack, with Ademola Lookman emerging as a target. However, transfer fee disagreements between Bayern and Atalanta Bergamo prevented a deal. Bayern ultimately signed Nicolas Jackson on loan, while Lookman joined Atletico Madrid for €35 million in the subsequent winter.
Lookman initially found success at Atletico, contributing significantly in the latter half of the season and helping them reach the Champions League semi-finals. However, as of early November 2026, the 29-year-old Nigerian international is experiencing a dip in form, with limited goal contributions in recent appearances.
Despite his current struggles, Atletico coach Diego Simeone expressed continued belief in Lookman's potential. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich, facing significant injuries on the left wing, could benefit from a player like Lookman, who is set to face them in the Champions League.
