Nigerian Stars Ademola Lookman Linked with Inter Milan Transfer as Scott Desai Shines in Champions League Qualifier

Nigerian footballers continuing to make waves abroad include Super Eagles winger Ademola Lookman, who is at the center of transfer talks linking him with a move to Italian giants Inter Milan. Meanwhile, Nigerian striker Scott Desai played a crucial role in Rangers FC’s 3-0 win over Victoria in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers.

Ademola Lookman, 27, has publicly submitted a transfer request to his current club Atalanta after an impressive spell in Serie A. Lookman’s desire to join Inter Milan appears to be stalled as Atalanta demands a fee of around €50 million while Inter’s latest offer reportedly totals €45 million including bonuses.

The Super Eagles winger has accused Atalanta of breaking promises regarding his transfer and has cleared his locker at the club’s training ground in protest. Despite this reports confirm that Inter Milan remains keen to secure the Nigeria international’s signature and is preparing to make a third bid to meet Atalanta’s valuation.

Lookman who has scored over 50 goals in the last three years for Atalanta, is seen as a strategic fit for Inter’s attacking frontline potentially forming a potent trio with Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martínez under coach Christian Chivu.

In the UEFA Champions League qualifiers, Nigerian striker Scott Desai showcased his talents by scoring and assisting in Rangers FC’s commanding 3-0 victory over Victoria.

Desai’s clinical performance helped Rangers advance confidently in the continental competition further enhancing the reputation of Nigerian players on the European stage.

These developments highlight the strong presence and impact of Nigerian players abroad, with Lookman’s transfer saga attracting intense media attention and Desai’s Champions League exploits continuing Nigeria’s proud football tradition.
