Lookman's impressive performance over the past year has significantly boosted his profile. He was instrumental in the Super Eagles' campaign at the AFCON 2023, scoring three goals and helping Nigeria reach the final.
His remarkable contributions continued in the Europa League, where he led Atalanta to victory, notably becoming the first player to score a hat trick in a major UEFA competition final.
This impressive performance has not only elevated his status but also seen him among the frontrunners for the CAF Player of the Year award after his impressive Ballon d'Or ranking.
This season, Lookman has maintained his momentum, netting 13 goals in just 14 matches in all competitions, further solidifying his position as a key player for Atalanta.

His remarkable achievements have led to interest from other European giants, including Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain.
According to reports from Spanish outlet Espana, Real Madrid are reportedly keen on adding Lookman to their squad as they look to enhance their attacking options.

The club and their European rivals recognise his versatility and explosive playing style as valuable assets that could complement their current roster.
However, Atalanta’s steep asking price of €70 million poses a significant challenge for any potential suitors. The summer transfer window is still months away and clubs interested in Lookman will need to weigh their options carefully against Atalanta's demands.
With Real Madrid leading the charge, it remains to be seen whether they and their rivals will meet Atalanta's valuation or explore alternative targets to bolster their squad ahead of the 2025 summer transfer window.
