Roma linked with Atletico Madrid winger Ademola Lookman

Nigerian-English winger Ademola Lookman is the subject of a reported Roma interest, with the Atletico Madrid forward potentially switching LaLiga for Serie A.

Lookman, 29, joined Atletico from Atalanta in February 2026 for €35 million and has a contract with the Spanish club until 30 June 2030. His current market value is listed at €40 million, although there is no indication of a proposed fee for a move to Roma.

The forward has made 11 LaLiga appearances this season, scoring once, and has featured in all four of Atletico’s Champions League matches, contributing one goal and one assist. He has started 75% of Atletico’s league matches but has played 35% of the club’s Champions League minutes.

Lookman was named African Footballer of the Year in 2024 while at Atalanta, where he also helped win the Europa League in the 2023-24 season. His move to Atletico came after four years with the Italian club, during which he established himself as a regular attacking option.

Roma are looking at a player who has experience in both Italy and European competition, but the rumour remains unconfirmed. Lookman’s long-term Atletico contract means the Spanish club retain his registration and control his future.
