According to "Football Italia", Inter Milan has placed Nigerian Ademola Lukman, Atalanta's striker, at the top of its priorities to strengthen the attack during the current summer transfer window, but the deal faces a significant obstacle due to Atalanta's financial demands of 50 million euros.

The report clarified that Inter's management has set a budget of around 35 million euros to sign a new striker and is seeking to convince Atalanta to lower its financial demands to complete the deal.

The site pointed out that Inter's attacking list includes other alternative names, most notably Louis Openda from Leipzig, along with Elias Ben Seghir from Monaco and Christopher Nkunku from Chelsea.

In the same context, reliable journalist "Fabrizio Romano" reported via his official account on the "X" platform that Atletico Madrid is also keen to sign Lukman in case more players leave the team.

He confirmed that communications have resumed in recent days, and they are awaiting more clarity and decisiveness regarding the player's final price.

Inter Milan plans to reshape its attacking line for the upcoming 2025/2026 season after the departure of Joaquin Correa and Marko Arnautovic, with intentions to sell Mehdi Taremi, who is attracting interest from Fulham and Besiktas.
