The battle for Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman has intensified between English Premier League giants Liverpool and Manchester United, as both clubs vie for his signature this summer.

Lookman, who has been a standout performer for Atalanta with 32 goals and 18 assists in 78 appearances since joining two seasons ago, recently sparked interest with a stunning hat-trick in Atalanta’s UEFA Europa League final victory over Bayer Leverkusen.

Reports suggest that Lookman is keen on returning to the English Premier League after leaving Leicester City two years ago. Caught Offside has indicated that both Liverpool and Manchester United are now actively pursuing the 26-year-old.

Liverpool, under new coach Arne Slot, are eager to bolster their attacking options ahead of the upcoming season. Meanwhile, Manchester United, seeking to address deficiencies on the wings, view Lookman as a player who could provide both experience and talent to their squad.

According to Transfermarkt, Lookman is valued at €40 million, though Atalanta may demand up to €51 million for his transfer.

With prior Premier League experience, Lookman is seen as a valuable addition to any team. However, both Liverpool and Manchester United face challenges. Liverpool’s deep squad could limit Lookman’s playing time, despite offering stability under Slot. In contrast, Manchester United, aiming for resurgence after a disappointing season, may provide more opportunities for Lookman to showcase his skills.

The decision now rests on Lookman’s preferences and negotiations between the clubs, with fans eagerly awaiting developments as the summer transfer window progresses.
