Manchester City are weighing a move for Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman as doubts remain over the future of winger Savinho – www.naijnaira.com reports.
Caught Offside revealed that City could step in for the Atalanta striker if Savinho secures a transfer before the window shuts.
Lookman has grown frustrated in Bergamo after Atalanta blocked his switch to Inter Milan, despite the player already agreeing personal terms.
The club’s refusal, reportedly due to their failure to line up a replacement, has left the Nigerian star feeling betrayed and ready for a new challenge.
Lookman’s profile has soared in recent seasons, with his 2024 Europa League final hat-trick and back-to-back Atalanta Player of the Year awards making him a target for Europe’s biggest clubs.
Arsenal and Chelsea are also tracking the 27-year-old, while Tottenham have contacted Atalanta to test the waters for a potential deal.
TEAMtalk adds that City could also turn to Rodrygo if Savinho departs, though Spurs are said to view a deal for the Brazilian as unlikely.
Pep Guardiola’s side are still active in the market, with progress reported in talks for Gianluigi Donnarumma, even as Marc Guehi closes in on Liverpool.
