Chelsea have opened talks with Atalanta over the potential transfer of Ademola Lookman, who currently plays as a forward. Negotiations are active and ongoing after an opening bid was submitted, though there is reportedly still some distance between the clubs on valuation. However, discussions are said to remain open and constructive - as both sides explore whether there is a deal to be done. Fenerbahce, Galatasaray and Bayern Munich are reportedly waiting in the wings. Finalising a fee and payment terms remains central to closing the transfer. Chelsea have been strong going forward this season, with 13 goals scored in 7 games (1.86 per game). Ademola Lookman would give them depth and keep that attacking firepower going all season. Alongside this, Atalanta are said to be exploring Robin Gosens, Tyrell Malacia and Ian Maatsen with Chelsea likewise connected to Alessandro Bastoni, Rico Lewis and Antonio Silva.
