Inter Milan are intensifying efforts to secure the signing of Ademola Lookman from Atalanta before the end of the summer transfer window.
The Serie A giants are eager to bring the Nigerian international to the San Siro, having already seen an initial bid rejected. While Inter have reportedly valued the 26-year-old winger at €40 million, Atalanta are holding out for €50 million.
Despite the current gap in valuation, Inter are expected to reopen negotiations with Atalanta this week in a bid to strike a compromise. Crucially, Lookman has already agreed personal terms with Inter, who are managed by Cristian Chivu.
