Leading transfer experts such as Fabrizio Romano and Ben Jacobs have reported that Atletico Madrid have reached an agreement to sign Ademola Lookman from Atalanta, concluding one of the most notable deals of the summer transfer window.

According to reliable sources, the total value of the transfer package is around 40 million euros, including 35 million euros in fixed fees and 5 million euros in add-ons depending on clauses.

After making his final decision last night, Lookman agreed to sign a long-term contract with Atletico. The Spanish club is now planning the next steps, including travel and medical examination, before officially announcing the new contract. The final details between the parties are being finalized today.

Lookman left Atalanta after a consistent and impressive spell in Serie A. The Nigerian international was a key player in Bergamo's attack thanks to his speed, dribbling ability, and effectiveness in decisive situations.

His performances at both club and national team level brought Lookman to the attention of many major European clubs, before Atletico won the race to sign him.

Previously, Lookman was a target for a number of big-name European clubs such as Inter Milan and Fenerbahce. In recent days, Turkish media repeatedly reported that Lookman would join Fenerbahce, but the final outcome was not as they had hoped. The fact that the deal was finalized so quickly also shows Atletico's determination in rebuilding their squad, aiming for a title-contending season.

Conversely, Atalanta received a significant financial boost to reinvest in their squad. While parting ways with Lookman was a professional loss, the clearly strained relationship between the two parties meant the Italian club couldn't keep him.

If he passes the scheduled medical examination, Ademola Lookman will soon make his debut for Atletico Madrid, opening a new chapter in his career in La Liga.
