Ademola Lookman is not expected to leave Atletico Madrid this summer, despite persistent rumors from Turkey. Galatasaray, the four-time consecutive Turkish champions, had identified the 27-year-old as a primary target to strengthen their attack, while Fenerbahçe had also been interested before his arrival in Spain. Some sources mentioned the possibility of him joining his compatriot Victor Osimhen in Istanbul.
The Madrid leadership considers the Nigerian international an essential part of Diego Simeone's project and is not considering a transfer. A source close to Galatasaray also reportedly said that Atletico is not willing to open discussions for the forward. He arrived from Atalanta during the winter transfer window for €40 million and has become an established member of the squad, scoring 4 goals in 12 LaLiga appearances. His contract with the Spanish club is valid until 2030.
