Liverpool and Man Utd in Thrilling Pursuit of Lookman

English Premier League clubs Liverpool and Manchester United are set for a thrilling pursuit of Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman this summer.

Lookman has been remarkable at Atalanta since joining two seasons ago. The Nigeria international has scored 32 goals and provided 18 assists in 78 appearances for La Dea. He caught significant attention with his outstanding performance at the end of last season, scoring a hattrick in Atalanta’s 3-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen in the UEFA Europa League final.

Recent reports suggest Lookman is considering a return to the English Premier League, two years after departing from Leicester City. According to Caught Offside, both Manchester United and Liverpool are interested in signing Lookman this summer.

Liverpool, under the guidance of new coach Arne Slot, are looking to enhance their attacking options for the upcoming season. Meanwhile, Manchester United seek to strengthen their wing positions, with Lookman’s experience and talent viewed as valuable additions to the team.

Lookman is valued at €40 million according to Transfermarkt, but Atalanta may demand up to €51 million for the deal. A move to Liverpool could offer Lookman the stability he has rarely experienced in his career, having seldom spent more than two consecutive seasons at any club. Joining Liverpool could provide a lasting home for the former Everton player.
