Fenerbahce have taken concrete steps to strengthen their attacking department after opening direct club-to-club negotiations with Atalanta over a potential transfer for Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman, according to renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
Romano revealed that discussions between the two clubs are scheduled to take place in Italy, marking the first formal stage of negotiations for the Atalanta star. The Turkish giants are also preparing to hold parallel talks with Lookman’s representatives regarding personal terms, underlining their strong intent to push the deal forward.
Lookman has been one of Atalanta’s most influential attacking players over the past seasons, earning plaudits for his pace, dribbling ability, and eye for goal. His standout performances in Serie A and European competitions have made him a sought-after figure in the transfer market, with several clubs monitoring his situation.
Fenerbahce, who are eager to challenge for both domestic and continental success, view Lookman as a statement signing capable of adding quality and unpredictability to their frontline. The Istanbul-based club is reportedly determined to present an ambitious project to the player as part of their efforts to convince him to make the switch to Turkey.
