Atalanta have bid farewell to Ademola Lookman after the Nigerian forward completed his move to Spanish giants Atletico Madrid.
Lookman traveled to Madrid on Sunday to undergo medical examinations and has now officially joined the Wanda Metropolitano on a permanent deal.
Reports indicate that Atalanta will receive €35m, with a potential €5m in add-ons, while Lookman is set to earn €7m per season at his new club.
Atletico Madrid confirmed that the striker has signed a contract running until June 2030.
Reflecting on the transfer, Atalanta posted on X, “Ademola Lookman has joined Atletico de Madrid on a permanent transfer. Thank you for everything and best of luck in the future, Mola!”
During his time at Atalanta, Lookman scored 55 goals in 137 appearances, including a memorable hat-trick in the 2024 Europa League Final, guiding La Dea to a 3-0 victory over Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen and their first-ever UEFA trophy.
On the international stage, Lookman recently played a key role in Nigeria’s Super Eagles securing third place at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, contributing three goals and four assists to help the team claim a record-extending ninth bronze medal.
