Lookman Set to Make La Liga Switch
Ademola Lookman has been urged to make a move to La Liga by his fellow countryman, Mutiu Adepoju, as the Atalanta star looks for a move this summer.
Newera News gathered that Lookman may have the opportunity to transition to La Liga, a move that could be beneficial for his career.
The Nigerian superstar has been one of Atalanta’s leading talisman in recent years, but rumors over a move away from Bergamo have started to circulate.
Gian Piero Gasperini left the club after the 2024/25 season came to a close, opting to take the reins at Roma and the veteran manager was a big part of Lookman’s career in Italy.
Since signing for Atalanta in August 2022, the former Premier League star has made 118 appearances for the Bergamo-based side and contributed to 77G (52G + 25A).
His most notable performance came in the 2024 Europa League final, as Lookman became the first player in history to score a hat-trick and secured Atalanta’s first European trophy.
Lookman’s 2024/25 campaign was another strong performance, contributing to 27 goals in 40 appearances across all competitions and helping Atalanta qualify for the Champions League once again.
The Nigerian’s deal with Atalanta does not expire until June 2027, but Mutiu Adepoju believes Lookman should ignore this and aim for a move away this summer.
Adepoju said: “Despite having a contract with Atalanta, I think the time is ripe for him to move to another league as I do not think he has anything else to prove in Italy.
