Fenerbahche’s Director of Sport, Devin Ozek is leading team officials to Italy to finalise the deal for Atalanta winger, Ademola Lookman.
According to Football Italia, the Turkish Super Lig giants are also willing to offer Lookman €9m per season.
Atalanta is willing to let Lookman out following recent signing of Giacomo Raspadori from Spanish giants, Atletico Madrid. Fenerbahce have proposed a loan with an obligation to buy for the Nigeria international. The Yellow Canaries want to pay €5m loan fee with another €35m later in the summer.
Lookman pushed to leave Atalanta for Inter last summer after his penalty was saved in Atalanta’s defeat to Club Brugge and his manager Gian Piero Gasperini described him as “one of the worst penalty takers I’ve ever seen.”
In response, Lookman said, “Being singled out in the manner I have been not only hurts but feels deeply disrespectful.”
