Nigerian International Ademola Lookman has arrived Madrid, Spain to finalize his contract to Atlético Madrid. This was confirmed by the club via a post on their verified X handle.
According to the club, they have reached an agreement with Serie A side Atalanta to sign Lookman, in a deal that could inject fresh firepower into Diego Simeone’s squad.
“The agreement is subject to passing his medical and agreeing and formalizing his contract,” the club said.”
However, Madrid did not reveal further financial details as Lookman is expected to undergo his medical today, Monday.
He joined Atalanta in 2022 after stints at Fulham and Leicester City in the Premier League, and earlier spells at RB Leipzig and Everton. He scored three goals for Nigeria at the recent Africa Cup of Nations, where the Super Eagles missed the final after a semifinal shootout loss to Morocco, eventually finishing third.
