Nigerian international Ademola Lookman has completed a high-profile move from Atalanta to Atlético Madrid in one of the biggest transfers of the winter window — a deal reportedly worth around €40 million.
The 28-year-old forward arrived in Madrid this week to undergo his medical and finalise a long-term contract with the La Liga giants, bringing to an end his three-and-a-half-year spell in Italy’s Serie A.
Lookman’s move comes just weeks after his influential performances for the Super Eagles at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, where he was one of Nigeria’s most dangerous attacking threats. Fresh from helping his country to a strong run in the tournament, the switch to Atlético marks the next big chapter in his career.
