Super Eagles winger Ademola Lookman has retained his €60m valuation, making him the sixth most valuable player in the Serie A according to the latest figures released by renowned football statistics website Transfermarkt.
This comes after a record-breaking season for Lookman as he scored 20 goals in all competitions for the first time in his career while also adding six assists, his second-best assist tally.
Lookman was particularly impressive in the Champions League, scoring his first goal against Shakhtar Donetsk before netting against Stuttgart, Real Madrid, Sturm Graz and Club Brugge, taking his tally to five goals in the tournament.
The 27-year-old is behind four Inter Milan players who occupy the top four spots in the league including Argentina’s Lautaro Martinez at €95m, Alessandro Bastoni (€80m), Marcus Thuram (€75m), and Nicolo Barella (€75m). AC Milan’s Portuguese winger Rafael Leao holds fifth place with a €70m valuation, making him the third most valuable player from Portugal.

Meanwhile, Lookman is now the ninth most valuable player born in 1997 worldwide and ranks 61st overall among the most valuable players globally.
While Atalanta’s new coach Ivan Jurić is eager to keep Lookman, interest is rising from clubs like Napoli — who view the 27-year-old as a potential replacement for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia — and Barcelona looking to improve their attack, setting the stage for a potential transfer battle over the Nigerian international.
