Romano: Lukeman s transfer to Inter Milan is blocked, Atlanta sticks to 50 million euros and does not give in

Well-known transfer reporter Romano talked about the transfer issue of Atlanta striker Lukeman, saying Inter Milan's offer to Lukeman has been rejected.

After two days of silence, Atlanta finally responded to the quotation of 40 million euros plus 5 million euros floating by Inter Milan, which was later modified to 42 million euros plus 3 million euros floating. Atlanta made it clear that they thanked Inter for their interest, but rejected the offer. Atlanta believes that the amount is not enough to complete the deal.

The news of Lukeman's transfer to Inter Milan has been attracting much attention since mid-July. At that time, there was even news that Atletico Madrid was also interested in Lukeman. Atlanta's attitude towards this matter is very clear: for foreign clubs, Lukeman's minimum transfer fee is 40 million euros; for domestic clubs in Italy, it is 50 million euros.

Inter Milan expressed interest in Lukeman, but neither of their offers met Atlanta's requirements. Atlanta sticks to its own position and does not accept offers below €50 million. Atlanta is tough and clear, and they emphasize that the timetable and transfer fees are determined by Atlanta. When Inter general manager Marlotta expressed his hope to complete the transfer within two to three days, Atlanta responded: "The time is up to us."

In fact, Atlanta never listed Lukeman as a non-sale product, and the club owner publicly admitted that Lukeman wanted to leave the team. Lukeman had expressed his willingness to leave last summer, but he eventually stayed in Atlanta due to the breakdown of negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain. Lukeman again sought a transfer this summer, but Atlanta did not let him go easily.

Lukeman and his agents have allegedly asked Atlanta for permission to join Inter Milan on several occasions. Currently, Lukeman is preparing to communicate directly with Atlanta, hoping to facilitate the transfer. Atlanta, on the other hand, adheres to the bottom line of 50 million euros and is unwilling to make any concessions.

Inter Milan now needs to reassess the next move. In addition to Lukeman, there are other players who are also considering it. For example, Nkunku is a player who Inter Milan is very interested in. This Chelsea player can play the role of No. 9 and No. 10, and is interested in leaving Chelsea. However, Nkunku's high salary may become a major obstacle to transfers.
