Paris Saint-Germain are considering signing a new striker this winter, with particular interest in Atalanta's Nigeria international Ademola Lookman.
There was a lot of talk about it last summer: Ademola Lookman was negotiating with PSG, but Atalanta had no intention of letting go of their player. However, the club remains determined to finalize a deal for Lookman in the coming weeks.
Paris Saint-Germain appear to be seriously considering the idea of signing 27-year-old Atalanta striker Ademola Lookman. Since the start of the season, Lookman has scored 8 goals and delivered 5 assists in 14 matches in all competitions, a performance which does not fail to seduce observers. His offensive versatility and technical qualities would be a considerable asset for PSG, and a strong competitor for players like Bradley Barcola or Ousmane Dembélé.
Lookman, the poker move
Paolo Paganini, Italian journalist on TMW Radio, confirms: “Lookman? I understand that PSG's interest remains intact. He is on the Parisian club's shopping list, it remains to be seen whether Atalanta will be able to do without someone like Lookman in January, even if I understand that Atalanta has a desire to recruit Raspadori, which is a possible substitute “.
The question that remains, of course, is price. How much would PSG be willing to spend 40 million euros to secure his services? It is difficult to predict how far the Parisian club will go to strengthen its squad. But one thing is certain: if PSG launches into the battle for Lookman, it could well be a masterstroke… or a poker move. But who said that betting wasn't the very essence of Paris?
