Liverpool may be preparing for a major attacking reshuffle this summer, with Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman emerging as one of the club’s top targets, according to multiple reports across Europe.
The 26-year-old has turned heads with his electrifying performances for Atalanta, most notably his historic hat-trick in the Europa League final against Bayer Leverkusen — a performance that helped the Italian side lift their first European trophy. That moment alone has cemented Lookman’s place among the most sought-after wingers in European football.
With 17 goals and seven assists across all competitions this season, Lookman has shown consistency, flair, and an eye for the spectacular. His ability to cut inside, drive at defenders, and deliver in big moments has caught the attention of Premier League giants, with Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester United all monitoring the situation closely.
Sources close to the club suggest that Atalanta are willing to consider offers in the region of €60 million (£51m), with Juventus and Napoli also expressing domestic interest. Liverpool reportedly made inquiries during the January transfer window, but Atalanta stood firm, unwilling to lose one of their most productive players mid-season.
Now, with the summer window approaching and questions still surrounding Mohamed Salah’s long-term future at Anfield, Lookman is seen as a potential successor — or at the very least, a key addition to bolster Liverpool’s frontline. His pace, dribbling ability, and versatility across the front three make him a strong fit for the Premier League’s intensity and style.
Lookman, whose current contract with Atalanta runs until 2026 (with a club option for one more year), has not publicly commented on his future. But with growing interest from top clubs and a stellar season behind him, the coming months could signal the next chapter in his impressive rise.
