Serie A outfit Atalanta BC have reportedly placed a €60m price tag on Nigerian international Ademola Lookman amid interest from top clubs in Europe.

The reigning African Footballer of the Year has become a prime target for some of Europe's elite clubs following his exceptional performances for Atalanta since joining the club in the summer of 2022.

Italian journalist Mirko Di Natale reports that Juventus have already approached the Super Eagles forward regarding a possible move in the summer.

Lookman's stock began to rise significantly after his stellar performance for Atalanta against Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League final, where he netted a historic hat-trick to guide La Dea to their first-ever European title.

Prior to his injury, Lookman had scored 14 goals and provided six assists across all competitions for Atalanta.

The 27-year-old has registered 43 goals and 23 assists in 96 appearances across all competitions since joining Atalanta.

His performances have attracted interest from clubs in the Premier League.
