<br>Ademola Lookman is reportedly edging closer to a departure from Atalanta, with sources close to the player revealing he is "70%" set to leave the Italian side. The transfer negotiations appear to be progressing smoothly, raising expectations that a deal may soon be finalised.
<br>
<br>The Serie A outfit values the Super Eagles forward at around €60 million. A move back to the English Premier League looks most likely for the CAF Player of the Year, who has already played for clubs including Everton, Leicester City, and Fulham.

<br>Lookman is expected to feature one last time for Atalanta in their final Serie A match of the season against Parma on Sunday an opportunity for a fitting farewell to the fans in Bergamo.

<br>His defining moment at the club came when he netted a sensational hat-trick to clinch the UEFA Europa League title last year. His goal-scoring prowess has been pivotal in Atalanta’s strong showing this season, as they [secured](http://cbsver.bget.ru/user/LelaMarra99447/) third place and another Champions League campaign.

<br>We often speak of footballers finding their "home," a place where talent, opportunity, and timing meet. For Ademola Lookman, that place has undoubtedly been [Atalanta](https://redditpedia.com/index.php/User:JimCulp5661070). His rise in Italy has been nothing short of remarkable, crowned by that [unforgettable night](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/football-governance/super-eagles-promised-record-bonus-for-2026-world-cup-qualification/) when his hat-trick delivered the Europa League trophy to Bergamo. Yet, as with many success stories in football, the next chapter is already being written.

<br>If these transfer whispers hold true, and Lookman returns to the Premier League, we must see it not as an escape from Atalanta, but as a natural evolution. He has flourished in a system that trusted his [instincts](https://king-wifi.win/wiki/User:SantiagoMillingt) and gave him room to grow. Now, with his value peaking and his confidence soaring, it is only logical that top-flight English clubs would come calling again.

<br>Let us not forget that his previous Premier League stints were marred by inconsistency and limited roles. But this is not the same Lookman. This is a forward who matured in the unforgiving trenches of Serie A, who carried the hopes of a modest club into Europe’s elite, and who stood tall among Africa’s finest to claim CAF’s highest individual honour.
<br>[bit.ly](https://bit.ly/Bet9jaPromotionCodeYOHAIG)
<br>Wherever he lands next, he deserves not only the fanfare but the faith of a team ready to build around him. We can only hope that his destination offers him the same freedom and responsibility that turned him into a continental champion. Because Lookman, as we’ve seen, is no longer a promise. He’s a proven force.
