Inter is strongly targeting Ademola Lookman, but Atalanta has responded with a surprising proposal. While the Inter management awaits a reply to their official offer, La Dea counters by asking for Pio Esposito as part of the deal.
The negotiations are heating up and, in the meantime, a plan B emerges: Nico Gonzalez from Juventus, with Inter having new contacts with his entourage and keeping this option alive.
The intertwining between the two Lombard “nerazzurri” clubs involves the Argentine himself, who is ready to leave Madama.
🧨 Nico, what a twist! Double alternative to Lookman
Nico Gonzalez is not part of Tudor’s plans and is ready to leave Juventus. In addition to Saudi interest, the Argentine is liked by both Inter and Atalanta, and his future seems to be closely tied to that of Lookman.
The Argentine is Inter’s number one alternative to the Nigerian, but not only that: Atalanta also considers him a target in case the former Everton player leaves.
Will Nico Gonzalez end up wearing the Inter or Atalanta shirt? The Argentine’s future is still to be written, as everyone waits to see how the Lookman case will end.
🔥 Atalanta’s provocation: “Give us Pio Esposito”
According to Sky Sport, Atalanta’s first response to Inter’s offer for Lookman (€40 million) was a provocative request: “Will you give us Pio Esposito?”
This move was seen more as a challenge than a real proposal, and it was immediately met with a firm “no” from the Inter management.
⛔ Ausilio clarifies: “No soap operas!”
Inter’s sporting director, Piero Ausilio, was clear on Sky Sport: “We will not engage in endless negotiations.”
While confirming their strong interest in Lookman, he wanted to send a direct message to Atalanta: Inter has a clear plan and will not be drawn into a long transfer saga.
🔄 Plan B: Nico Gonzalez from Juve to Inter?
If the Lookman deal falls through, Inter already has a plan B: Nico Gonzalez from Juventus.
He would cost around €20 million plus bonuses. Yesterday there were new contacts between the player’s entourage and the Inter management, a sign of concrete and evolving interest.
