However, despite the club’s desire to retain him, Percassi acknowledges that there are three top clubs interested in signing Lookman.
“We will do everything at the end of the season to keep Lookman, but he must not remain reluctantly,” Percassi explained.
“After all, we replaced Zapata, Papu Gomez, Muriel…”

He also added that Lookman has strong interest from the Premier League, saying,
” The big English teams like Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester United are eyeing the Nigerian striker.”
This comes as no surprise, given Lookman’s impressive performances in big games over the past year, including a hat-trick in the Europa League final against Bayer Leverkusen and a stunning goal against Real Madrid.
