Lookman's move to Napoli very complicated

Napoli are understood to have renewed their interest in Ademola Lookman, but experts maintained this transfer will be very complicated because of the financial fair play rules affecting the Serie A champions.

Italian newspaper II Mattino reported that Ademola Lookman, back from an impressive outing at the AFCON, is set to quit Atalanta between now and the summer.

He is Napoli ‘real’ transfer target, according to the newspaper, but the financial implications of this deal are “extremely complicated” particularly as the “zero balance” situation of Napoli will not change between now and February 2, when the transfer window in Italy is shut.

The newspaper therefore said Napoli cannot push the deal and it would be left for Atalanta to be ready to sell especially now that they signed a similar forward in Giacomo Raspadori.
