Transfer: Manchester United ready to splash €60m for Lookman

Manchester United have intensified their pursuit of Nigerian international Ademola Lookman, according to Italian reports.

The Red Devils are willing to spend a staggering €60m to bring the 26-year-old to Old Trafford next season.

Lookman's impressive performance in the Europa League final against Bayer Leverkusen has caught the attention of top Premier League clubs.

He made history by scoring a hat-trick against the Bundesliga champions at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, becoming the first player to achieve this feat.

Manchester United are eager to sign Lookman to address their goalscoring issues, with Marcus Rashford scoring only eight goals last season and Anthony's performance falling below expectations.

Jaden Sancho joined Dortmund on loan in the second half of the season after a fall out with Erik ten Hag.

Lookman's standout campaign at Atalanta has attracted interest from several Premier League giants, including Liverpool and Chelsea.

His starting price is reportedly around €60 million, making a return to England a real possibility.

Last season, Lookman scored 17 goals and provided 10 assists across all competitions for Gian Piero Gasperini's side.
