In recent years, under the leadership of Gian Piero Gasperini, Atalanta have built the status of a club with a smart business strategy that has led not only to turn around a lot of money through the sale of players for which little investment was made, but also to become a regular participant in European competitions.##NAJAVA_MECA_6548723##The Goddess missed out on a new appearance in Europe at the very end of the championship, which is why the club decided to invest a little more money in order to attack the high ranking again. So Atalanta are now in a situation where they have never in their history allocated more money for reinforcements than this summer. Almost 80 million euros were paid for four new players! The fourth signing this summer is Ademola Lookman from Leipzig for the sum of 15 million euros with all bonuses.The Nigeria international has signed for four years with an option for another season, unlocking Aleksei Miranchuk’s exit transfer to Torino where he will soon undergo his medicals before signing on loan with an option to buy in one year. Lookman spent last season on loan at Leicester where he scored eight goals and provided five assists in 42 appearances. Due to his universality, he can play on both attacking flanks, but also as a false “nine”.
