Manchester United are alongside Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain for the potential transfer of Atalanta star Ademola Lookman. English media sources have revealed that Manchester United are closely monitoring Lookman at the moment, while Atalanta are also looking to hold talks with the player over a new contract.
The Red Devils could be ready to move for Lookman depending on how things develop, although sources say there have been no concrete talks between either club or player yet. The 27-year-old is yet to make a decision on his future, but a move in January is considered unlikely at the moment, and the summer transfer window is more likely to bring a move for Lookman.
Lookman has had some experience with Premier League clubs before, and the player could be tempted to join a club like United and show what he can do in English football after his rapid rise at Atalanta. The Nigeria international has previously had some disappointing experiences with Everton, Fulham and Leicester City, but he has clearly taken his game to another level now. Real Madrid and PSG would also be tempting options for Lookman, but United can surely guarantee him a key role and a chance to prove he is already ready for Premier League level.
Lookman could be a significant upgrade for United, but the player's signing will not come cheap. The value of his card is thought to be in the amount of 60-70 million euros. Sources have indicated that United will see this as a fair price to pay for the player in this market, but other targets in that area of the pitch will be considered in the coming months.
