La Liga giants, Real Madrid has commence plans to sign on Atalanta and Nigeria’s superstar Ademola Lookman.
The move, according to report, is aimed at replacing Vinicius Junior who has been linked with a mouthwatering deal with Saudi Arabia’s Al-Hilal.
According to report, the Saudi Pro League side are preparing a ‘monumental’ move for the forward, in which they will lodge a €300million (£252m/$327m) bid for him.
That would break the record for the highest transfer fee ever, Neymar’s move to Paris Saint-Germain, which cost €222million (£200m/$242m).
Interestingly enough, Vinicius would actually replace Neymar in two capacities, as his compatriot is currently at Al-Hilal, but it’s believed he could leave at the end of the season, with the club therefore looking for a top-tier replacement.
Another report suggested Real already know who they want to replace Vinicius with.
It’s stated they have their sights on Atalanta winger Lookman, who is being pursued amid their Brazilian’s failure to pen a new contract.
Real believes the standout Serie A performer could be an ideal complement to the forward line.
Lookman is valued by his current club at €60million (£50m/$65m), which means Real could have an extra £202million left over from their sale of Vinicius, which is ideal amid their push for other star players.
The former Premier League attacker is on the radar of West Ham for a potential return to England, TEAMtalk understood, but Real would surely blow them out the water for Lookman.
