This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews.

The transfer saga between Inter, Atalanta, and Ademola Lookman has now dragged on for the better part of a month.

Inter have made two offers for the Nigerian international. First, they made a bid worth €40 million all-in. Then, after Atalanta rejected that, they increased it to €45 million including add-ons.

Atalanta then rejected Inter’s second bid for Lookman.

And in the meantime, the former RB Leipzig forward has done everything he possibly can to force through a move to Inter.

Lookman has publicly demanded a transfer. he has also no-showed training for well over a week.

According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, behind the scenes Inter have continued to give reassurances to Ademola Lookman.

The Nerazzurri have told the 27-year-old that they have not given up on signing him.

However, the Gazzetta report, Inter also know that the margins for them to sign Lookman are getting thinner with each passing day.

Therefore, the Nerazzurri are also considering what their next step would be if their pursuit collapses entirely.

One option would be for Inter to go after an opportunity in attack like Christopher Nkunku late in the window.

Alternatively, the Nerazzurri could simply rely on the forwards they have, as well as midfielders like Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Davide Frattesi to make up the numbers in attack.
