Paris Saint-Germain pushing to sign Nigerian winger Ademola Lookman
According to reports from French sources Foot Mercato and Sports Zone, Paris Saint-Germain have initiated contact with Nigerian winger Ademola Lookman and are making strong efforts to secure a deal.
The 26-year-old Lookman has been a standout performer for Atalanta, where he has played 79 matches, scoring 32 goals and providing 18 assists.
Lookman’s impressive form has also extended to the international stage, where he has represented Nigeria in 23 games, netting 6 goals. His ability to deliver consistently at both club and international levels has attracted the attention of PSG, who are keen to add his talents to their squad.
Foot Mercato reports that while no formal offer has yet been made by PSG for Lookman, the interest from the French giants is genuine. Sports Zone further highlights that Lookman’s profile is highly valued within the PSG camp, particularly due to his versatility on the field. This versatility is seen as a perfect fit for the type of team that PSG manager Luis Enrique is looking to build, as he continues to shape the squad in the French capital.

However, PSG is not the only club showing interest in Lookman. According to Sports Zone, Saudi Arabian club Al-Ahli is also in the race to sign the Nigerian international. Al-Ahli are reportedly aiming to bolster their attacking options and sees Lookman as a key part of their plans. They are also targeting Brentford’s Ivan Toney to play alongside Riyad Mahrez, forming a potent forward line.
The competition between PSG and Al-Ahli could lead to an interesting battle for Lookman’s signature, as both clubs are looking to strengthen their squads with proven attacking talent. PSG’s interest, coupled with their ability to attract top players, makes them a strong contender. However, Al-Ahli’s ambition and financial resources could also prove to be a decisive factor.
As the transfer window remains open, it will be intriguing to see how this situation develops. Lookman’s performances have clearly caught the eye of major clubs, and a move to either PSG or Al-Ahli would mark a significant step in his career. For now, the Nigerian international continues to be one of the most sought-after players in the market, with his future likely to be one of the key stories to watch in the coming days.
