He is an excellent player, his performances have attracted the big European clubs but I think in the end he will stay at Atalanta
The negotiations are dragging on and Atalanta are sticking to their guns, wanting 50 million. For Inter, it would be a good 150 million spent in this market but they would simply have only bought bench players, perhaps the only one would be him as the new starter but in whose place?

I don't think Lookman wants to stay at Atalanta anymore. From what I understand, he has told the club of his intention to leave. For a player of his quality, €50 million is not such a hefty price. I guess the reason Inter are stalling is because they've already agreed personal terms with him, and there's no strong competition from other clubs. Regardless of the situation, Inter's recent bid and Atalanta's asking price are not far off, hence I believe both clubs will reach an agreement soon.

According to Atalanta's CEO, Lookman hasn't wanted to play for Atalanta for some time, meaning he wanted to leave a long time ago, from what I understand from this news:

Atalanta’s CEO Luca Percassi: “Lookman wants to leave since long time ago. We have a proposal from Inter but it’s us deciding timing and valuation for our own players”.

“We have good relationship and we will consider the proposal with our timing”.

He probably realized that Atalanta would not win Serie A. Like every player, he also wants to win titles, play to see the team go far in Serie A. Now, with Atalanta at its best compared to previous seasons, it is difficult for him to stay on the team. Even if they gave him some incentive, going to Inter would be a good move.

Even though the current Inter has not yet proven whether it will maintain the same quality in the next season, which will start soon. Because with this new Inter coach, I am not confident of seeing Inter strong. Regarding the amount, I think Atalanta is exaggerating. Inter made a good offer.

Yes, I'd heard this news, but I don't believe it! It's the classic leak that tries to cover up the reason why a deal hasn't been closed yet.There's been talk of Lookman joining Inter since the beginning of July, and to date, no white smoke has arrived yet! If Inter wanted him at all costs they would have already bought the player
