According to the Spanish website Marca, Atlético Madrid has already begun conversations with Lookman’s agents.

Diego Simeone’s team would, however, seek a decrease in the transfer cost.

This season, the 27-year-old has scored 18 goals and assisted seven times in 37 appearances across all competitions for La Dea.
