Discussions between Atalanta and Inter Milan regarding Ademola Lookman have reached a standstill, as Atalanta is unwilling to lower their €50 million asking price, casting doubt on the potential transfer.
Inter Milan has already made a €40 million offer for the 27-year-old Atalanta player.
According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, Inter’s initial bid for the Nigerian forward was unsuccessful.
Although personal terms have been agreed upon with Lookman, the Nerazzurri have not been able to finalize an agreement with Atalanta.

Lookman is eager to join Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram at Inter.
Last summer, the former RB Leipzig player was close to leaving Bergamo, but a late transfer to Paris Saint-Germain fell through, resulting in him remaining at Atalanta for another year.
Atalanta had reportedly promised to allow him to leave last summer, but only under specific conditions.
Now, Lookman is looking to hold the Gewiss Stadium club to their word.
Additionally, La Liga powerhouse Atletico Madrid is closely monitoring the situation.
