Inter Milan’s pursuit of Ademola Lookman has hit a roadblock as Atalanta remains firm on their asking price. Despite Lookman’s transfer request and Inter’s €45 million offer, Atalanta rejected the bid, citing that their agreement only applies to clubs outside Italy. With negotiations stalled, Inter’s head coach Cristian Chivu is exploring more affordable alternatives. The club has already added four new players this summer, including Ange-Yoan Bonny and Luis Henrique. Jadon Sancho, priced at around €20 million, is a potential target after underwhelming performances at Manchester United. Maghnes Akliouche also caught Chivu’s attention with a strong performance against Inter, although his €70 million price tag may be a hurdle. Federico Chiesa, who has struggled at Liverpool, could be another option if the English club secures replacements. Inter Milan is actively considering these alternatives as they aim to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
