AS Roma consider Ademola Lookman move ahead of January transfer window

Super Eagles winger Ademola Lookman is being considered as a potential January signing by Serie A club AS Roma, according to Italian newspaper La Repubblica.

The 29-year-old has struggled to make the same impact at Atletico Madrid this season as he did in previous campaigns. Lookman has scored two goals and provided one assist in 15 appearances across all competitions for Diego Simeone’s side.

He was an unused substitute when Atletico Madrid were beaten 2-1 at home by Barcelona last weekend, adding to concerns over his current position within the team.

Roma’s sporting management are understood to have included the former Atalanta forward on a list of possible targets before the winter transfer window opens.

The Giallorossi are reportedly considering whether to pursue a move for Lookman and are expected to hold initial discussions with his representatives in the first weeks of December 2026.

Those talks would allow Roma to assess the player’s situation before deciding whether to make a formal approach when the January window opens.

A possible reunion with Gian Piero Gasperini could also influence the move. Lookman previously played under the Italian manager during their time together at Atalanta.
