Atlético Madrid trail behind Fenerbahçe in the race for Super Eagles star Ademola Lookman as €40m becomes the key figure.
The transfer future of Super Eagles winger Ademola Lookman is heating up following official bids from Atlético Madrid and Fenerbahçe, with the Turkish giants currently holding the advantage.
Spanish La Liga side Atlético Madrid have tabled an offer worth €25 million, which could rise to €30 million including performance-related bonuses. However, the bid falls short of expectations surrounding the Nigerian international.

In contrast, Fenerbahçe have gone a step further by submitting a stronger proposal of €35 million guaranteed, plus an additional €5 million in bonuses, effectively valuing the deal at €40 million.
According to sources close to the negotiations, the situation is clear:
Unless Atlético Madrid increase their offer to around €40m, talks with Fenerbahçe are expected to progress rapidly.
The coming days could prove decisive as all parties await Atlético’s next move, with Lookman’s future now tilting towards Istanbul unless the Spanish club act swiftly.
