Manchester United and Newcastle United are eyeing Ademola Lookman’s signature.

Manchester United and Newcastle United are reportedly interested in signing Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman, who is expected to leave the Serie A club in the summer.

Lookman, 27, has been in impressive form for Atalanta, scoring 17 goals and registering 10 assists last season, including a hat-trick in the Europa League final.

However, his recent spat with coach Gian Piero Gasperini following the club’s Champions League exit has cast doubt on his future at the club.

According to reports, Atalanta has set a price tag of around €65 million (£53.8 million, $68 million) for Lookman’s transfer.

Newcastle United and Manchester United are among the clubs interested in signing the Nigerian international, with Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus, and Inter Milan also reportedly in the running.

Lookman’s contract with Atalanta ends in 2026, but the latest developments suggest that he may be on his way out of the club.

Several clubs, including Manchester United and Newcastle United, tried to sign him last summer and in January, but Atalanta stood firm. However, the current situation may lead to a change of heart.

Manchester United’s interest in Lookman is driven by their need for goals, with the club’s forward players struggling to find the back of the net.

Rasmus Hojlund has not scored in 16 games, while Joshua Zirkzee is not a natural No. 9. Lookman’s experience in the Premier League, having played for Fulham and Everton, makes him an attractive option for the Red Devils.

Newcastle United, on the other hand, are looking to strengthen their squad as they push for a top-four finish in the Premier League.

Lookman’s pace, skill, and goal-scoring ability would make him a valuable addition to Eddie Howe’s team.

With several clubs vying for his signature, Lookman’s future is set to be a major talking point in the summer transfer window.
