Inter Milan have abandoned their move for Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman after negotiations with Atalanta collapsed.

The Nerazzurri are now set to officially notify the player’s camp that the deal is off, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Inter officials are expected to meet Lookman’s representatives within 24 hours to provide clarity, bringing an end to two weeks of stalled discussions.

Atalanta refused to adjust their valuation, leaving no room for compromise despite Inter’s initial optimism.

Club sources also dismissed speculation that Lookman’s situation was tied to Nicola Zalewski’s potential switch from Roma to Atalanta, stressing the two transfers were unrelated.

Lookman, 26, has been instrumental for Atalanta since arriving from RB Leipzig in 2022, impressing both in Serie A and Europe.

He also starred for Nigeria at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, scoring three goals en route to the Super Eagles’ run to the final.

Inter had viewed him as a versatile option to bolster their forward line, but with negotiations deadlocked, the club will now shift focus to alternative targets before the transfer window closes.
