Italian club Atalanta will deliberate on the future of their star striker Ademola Lookman following a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia’s Al Ittihad.
The 26-year-old striker has attracted significant interest from Premier League giants Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea.
Now, the Saudi Pro League club has joined the chase, expressing its desire to negotiate a deal.
