EPL: Amorim Set to Break African Transfer Record with €100m Bid for Super Eagles Star
Manchester United are reportedly preparing a €100 million offer for Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman, according to Spanish outlet Fichajes.
Lookman has become one of the most sought-after players in Europe, thanks to his impressive performances. He played a pivotal role in leading Nigeria to the 2023 AFCON final and Atalanta to the Coppa Italia final.
The Nigerian forward further boosted his reputation by scoring a remarkable hat-trick that helped Atalanta secure the UEFA Europa League title. His exceptional form earned him a 14th-place finish in the 2024 Ballon d’Or rankings.
Paris Saint-Germain were linked with Lookman during the summer, but no deal materialized. More recently, Arsenal have expressed interest in signing the 27-year-old.
However, Lookman could now be on his way to Manchester United, with manager Ruben Amorim reportedly keen to make him a marquee signing. A €100m move would not only mark a significant addition to United's squad but also make Lookman the most expensive African footballer in history.
Despite being allocated a modest transfer budget, Amorim is eager to secure key players and views Lookman as essential to his plans for success at Old Trafford.
