Ademola Lookman is edging closer to Atletico Madrid, after reports the Spanish side improved their personal terms and agreed a deal with Atalanta, unlike Fenerbahce.<\/p>\n

The Nigeria international had been trying to push for the exit over the summer towards Inter, but La Dea wouldn\u2019t sell to a direct competitor within Serie A for under \u20ac50m.<\/p>\n

He had seemed to be ready for Fenerbahce in January, but the Turkish team would not provide the financial guarantees demanded by Atalanta.<\/p>\n

This would reportedly be a \u20ac40m package with most of the money upfront, as much as \u20ac35m.<\/p>\n

Instead, the Serie A club agreed a deal with Atletico Madrid<\/a> that was the same overall sum, but with different payment terms that were more suitable.<\/p>\n

Lookman had at first resisted the idea, as he had already agreed personal terms with Fenerbahce, with reports they were offering him \u20ac9m per season plus bonuses.<\/p>\n

This evening, Sportitalia<\/a>, Sky Sport Italia, Fabrizio Romano<\/a> and Sports Digitale all report that Atletico Madrid improved their proposal to Lookman, who is beginning to open the door to the Colchoneros.<\/p>\n

The player was left out of the squad for tomorrow\u2019s Serie A match against Como, so that he can focus on these last-minute negotiations.<\/p>\n

Atalanta also favour Atletico Madrid because they already did business in January with Giacomo Raspadori\u2019s move to Bergamo.<\/p>\n
