Despite the very strong desire from both Inter and Ademola Lookman to complete this long and exhausting negotiation, the risk that everything could fall apart must still be considered if Atalanta continues to stand firm. For this reason, in recent hours, a concrete alternative to the Nigerian has gained ground at Viale della Liberazione.
In addition to the name of Nkunku, a forward set to leave Chelsea who does not particularly excite Inter, the profile most favored by the Nerazzurri seems to be that of Jadon Sancho. The winger, born in 2000 and owned by Manchester United, has been highly rated by Inter’s management not only for his technical qualities, but also for his young age and the relatively low transfer fee.
The Red Devils, in fact, are open to offers around 25 million euros, a figure significantly lower than the 50 million that Atalanta could ask for Lookman. At that point, by saving on the transfer fee, Inter could more easily meet the potential salary demands of the English forward.
In any case, everything remains in the hands of Lookman: the Nigerian is the absolute priority for Cristian Chivu and Inter is clearly appreciating the efforts made by the player to free himself from Atalanta. At the same time, a top club like the Nerazzurri has the obligation not to be caught unprepared in any scenario and to consider credible alternatives of the caliber of Sancho.
