The potential January fee Tottenham would need to pay to sign Ademola Lookman.

Tottenham showed late interest in Atalanta star Ademola Lookman during the summer, with Fabio Paratici pushing to secure his signing on deadline day. Recent reports suggest Spurs are ready to revive their pursuit of the winger in January.

However, Atletico Madrid could also compete for the experienced Serie A attacker, who is reportedly considering a move away from Bergamo. Lookman’s current contract with Atalanta runs until 2027, meaning the club is under no immediate pressure to sell.

Football Insider states that Lookman is high on Tottenham’s wishlist, with Thomas Frank eager to strengthen his squad with a wide-forward. To secure the Nigerian international mid-season, Spurs would reportedly need to meet Atalanta’s asking price of at least £50 million.

The situation has become more complex in recent days. Lookman seemed set to leave after falling out with former Atalanta coach Ivan Juric, but the arrival of Raffaele Palladino has changed matters. Palladino wants Lookman to stay and envisions a key role for him until the end of the season.

TEAMtalk also reported that Atalanta are planning to retain Lookman, adding further complications to Tottenham’s pursuit.
