Serie A giants Juventus are reportedly considering a summer move for Nigeria's Ademola Lookman.

The Bianconeri, who have struggled in front of goal this season, want to secure the signature of the reigning African Footballer of the Year to bolster their attack next season.

Lookman's career has been on an upward trajectory since joining Gian Piero Gasperini's side in the summer of 2022.

The 27-year-old inspired La Dea to its first European title after netting a historic hat-trick in last season's Europa League final against Bayer Leverkusen.

The former Leicester City player, who was crowned Africa's Best Player in 2024, has registered 43 goals and 23 assists in 96 appearances since joining Atalanta in a deal worth €9.35m.

Lookman's stock has currently risen to €55m, and the club could demand €70m for his signature considering his importance to the Bergamo club.

Other Premier League clubs, including Arsenal and Chelsea, are also reportedly interested in the winger.
