Manchester United are gearing up for a transformative summer transfer window, with major reinforcements expected across the pitch following a disappointing campaign. One of the standout names on their shortlist is Atalanta’s in-form forward, Ademola Lookman.
The Red Devils are planning a significant overhaul of their attacking line, with the futures of Rasmus Højlund and Joshua Zirkzee uncertain. United see Lookman as a prime candidate to lead their new-look frontline. The Nigerian international has enjoyed a stellar season in Italy, netting 18 goals in all competitions and becoming a vital figure in Atalanta’s attacking setup.
Lookman’s performances have caught the eye of several top European clubs, but Manchester United’s interest has remained consistent. The club’s scouting department has closely monitored his progress throughout the campaign, with manager Amorim reportedly a strong admirer of the winger’s dynamism and end product.
Atalanta have slapped a €60 million price tag on the 26-year-old—a figure United consider reasonable given the scale of their planned squad transformation. With United looking to inject more pace, creativity, and goal-scoring threat into their frontline, Lookman’s profile fits the bill perfectly.
