Nigeria and Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman is reportedly the subject of interest from some of Europe's biggest clubs.

Ademola Lookman is expected to leave Atalanta this summer, and his signature is expected to cause a bidding war.

Lookman has been linked with the likes of Manchester United, PSG, Liverpool, and more, but according to a new report, Juventus have emerged as strong contenders.

The Bianconeri believe Lookman could be the missing piece as they aim to return to the apex of Italian football, and are willing to discuss a deal with Atalanta.

According to Juvefc.com, via Tuttomercatoweb, Juventus will go toe to toe with Premier League leaders Liverpool, who are currently the favourites to sign the 27-year-old Nigerian.

Liverpool are braced to lose Mohamed Salah on a free transfer this summer and have identified Lookman as the perfect replacement.

The report further states that Liverpool are prepared to offer around €45 million to secure his services, as his contract expires in the summer of 2026.

.Juventus can also match that valuation, but the ultimate decision will rest with Lookman, who has never hidden his desire to return to the Premier League.

Lookman has scored 17 goals in 30 appearances for Atalanta this season.
