Atlético Madrid have completed the signing of Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman from Atalanta.
The clubs have reached a full agreement on a permanent transfer, with the total package valued at around €40 million. The deal includes a €35 million fixed fee and €5 million in performance-related add-ons.
All key details were finalised after Lookman made his decision late last night. Personal terms have been agreed on a long-term contract with the La Liga side.
Final paperwork is being completed, with medical preparations already under way in the background. Atlético are now planning the player’s travel ahead of the formal medical tests.
Lookman leaves Atalanta after establishing himself as one of Serie A’s most dangerous attackers. His pace, direct dribbling and eye for goal made him a central figure in the club’s recent success.
Atlético identified the Nigerian international as a priority signing as Diego Simeone looks to refresh his attacking options. The club believes Lookman’s intensity and versatility fit its tactical demands.
The transfer marks a significant step in Lookman’s career and another high-profile move for a Nigerian player in Europe’s top leagues.
An official announcement is expected once medical checks are completed and documents are signed. Lookman is then set to be unveiled as Atlético Madrid’s latest signing.
