Inter turn to RB Leipzig star Antonio Nusa in case Ademola Lookman deal falls through amid Atalanta demands

According to Calciomercato, as negotiations continue regarding the Nigerian, Nusa's name has been brought to the table, with sporting director Piero Ausilio keeping other options open. Inter are expected to navigate this option in case they don't reach an agreement with Atalanta regarding Lookman.

Lookman had agreed terms with Inter; however, his transfer fee stands at a stalemate, with Atalanta adamant about their financial demands. The player, meanwhile, has skipped training and has also publicly criticised Atalanta for rejecting Inter's initial offer. With less than three weeks left of the transfer window, Ausilio is exploring other options with Lookman possibly being forced to stay in Bergamo.

Nusa, who joined Leipzig last year, debuted for the Norway national team in 2023 and since then has recorded five goals and seven assists in 15 appearances.

Inter will hope to have a new attacker in place by the time the new Serie A campaign kicks off on August 25, with Christian Chivu's side taking on Torino in their opening game.
