Ademola Lookman is on the verge of reaching a personal agreement with Atlético Madrid.

Lookman is now extremely close to completing a transfer to Atlético Madrid, with the deal virtually done.

The forward is just one step away from joining the Rojiblancos. In fact, the personal terms between him and Atlético Madrid are on the brink of being finalized, and the club had previously reached a consensus with Atalanta.

Atlético Madrid have improved their salary offer to Lookman, while Fenerbahçe are yet to reach an agreement with Atalanta over the bank guarantee issue.

Following the salary increase, Atlético Madrid hold the upper hand in the pursuit. They are close to agreeing personal terms with Lookman, and Diego Simeone is waiting for the player's final response.

The two parties have effectively agreed on a deal worth slightly over €40 million including add-ons.

Meanwhile, Lookman has been left out of Atalanta's matchday squad for the game against Como. The Nigerian international is moving ever closer to securing the transfer.
