Atalanta stands firm on Lookman's €50m price tag

Ademola Lookman, an forward for Atalanta, is reportedly facing significant pressure to transfer to Galatasaray. His national team colleague, Victor Osimhen, is actively encouraging him to make the switch to the Turkish club during the January transfer window. This coordinated effort is believed to be a considerable challenge to Atalanta's stance.

However, Atalanta's ownership is maintaining a firm position regarding their valuable players. With a history of resisting bids from major clubs, they are prepared to stand their ground. A transfer will only be considered if Galatasaray meets the club's €50 million asking price.

Atalanta's management prioritizes selling players at maximum value without disrupting the team's technical objectives. Despite the encouragement from Osimhen, Lookman appears to be maintaining a low profile, indicating no immediate intention to force a departure from the club.
