Manchester City are considering a move for Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman if Savinho leaves the Etihad this summer, according to multiple reports.
Tottenham Hotspur are currently leading the chase for the Brazilian winger, but doubts persist within their hierarchy about finalising a deal.
While some at Spurs are prepared to sanction a significant outlay, others have described the move as “impossible.”
Should Savinho depart, City are expected to step into the race for Lookman, who is enduring a strained spell at Atalanta.
The Nigerian international was reportedly close to joining Inter Milan earlier this summer, but the deal collapsed when Atalanta refused to sanction his exit — a decision that has left him frustrated with the Bergamo club.
Pep Guardiola’s side remain active in the market, with further additions under consideration, alongside Lookman, City have been linked with Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma and Crystal Palace defender Marc Guéhi.
Lookman, the reigning African Footballer of the Year, has attracted interest across the Premier League.
Arsenal are monitoring his situation, Chelsea are weighing him as a fallback option if their pursuit of Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho fails, while Aston Villa are also understood to be keeping tabs.
Since arriving from RB Leipzig in 2022, Lookman has established himself as one of Atalanta’s standout performers.
He scored 20 goals last season, including a historic hat-trick in the 2023/24 Europa League final against Bayer Leverkusen, cementing his reputation on the European stage.
