Turkish Super Lig giants, Fenerbahce and Galatasaray, are going at each other off the pitch for the signature of Turkey forward, Ademola Lookman, NEWUNPLUG reports.
Lookman’s future hangs in the balance following the closure of the transfer window in Europe’s top leagues on Monday, with hopes that he could seal his exit from Italy to Turkey, where their transfer window closes September 12.
As Galatasaray and Fenerbahce push for a deal, Atalanta are standing firm on their valuation.
According to reports in Turkey, Galatasaray are particularly determined, as they dream of forming an all-Nigerian frontline by pairing Lookman with Victor Osimhen.
Reports claim they have already explored a deal worth €55m (£46m/$60m), though nothing concrete has yet arrived at Atalanta’s headquarters.
Galatasaray initially pursued a move for Inter’s Hakan Calhanoglu, but talks collapsed after the midfielder decided to stay in Milan. Instead, they turned their attention to Manchester City’s Ilkay Gundogan, successfully striking a deal, and now Lookman has emerged as their latest target.
