Bayern Munich make move for Super Eagles star Ademola Lookman

German giants Bayern Munich have opened talks with Atalanta over a deal for Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman, according to reports from The Athletic.

Bayern’s proposal is understood to be a loan deal with a sizeable fee, including an option to buy at a considerate price.

The 27-year-old attacker is currently weighing his options but remains determined to leave Atalanta this summer.

Lookman, who enjoyed a stellar campaign last season, has attracted interest from several top European clubs. His performances in Serie A and on the continental stage have made him one of Atalanta’s most prized assets, but the player is now open to a fresh challenge.

Bayern, who are looking to reinforce their attack ahead of the 2025/26 season, see Lookman as a versatile option capable of operating across the front line.
