Napoli manager Antonio Conte has set his sights on Nigerian international Ademola Lookman as the perfect replacement for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who departed for Paris Saint-Germain in January.
According to Gazetta dello Sport, Conte has specifically requested the Serie A champions to secure the services of the 27-year-old Atalanta winger, who has been in exceptional form.
Napoli is reportedly prepared to offer €50 million for Lookman, though Atalanta is expected to demand closer to €60 million for their star player. The Nigerian forward has become one of the most sought-after talents in European football, with Liverpool, Arsenal, and Barcelona also showing interest in acquiring his signature.
Lookman enjoyed a stellar 2024/2025 season with Atalanta, contributing an impressive 22 goals and 5 assists across 46 appearances in all competitions. His exceptional performance has made him a prime target for several top European clubs looking to strengthen their attacking options.
The potential move would represent another significant step in Lookman's career, which has seen him rise to prominence in Italian football since joining Atalanta. His technical ability, pace, and eye for goal have made him one of the standout performers in Serie A.
For Napoli, securing Lookman would fill the creative void left by Kvaratskhelia's departure and potentially provide Conte with a dynamic attacking option as he looks to maintain the club's competitive edge in both domestic and European competitions.
