Nigeria, Feb. 2 -- The development follows a full agreement between both clubs, bringing the Super Eagles star closer to a switch to La Liga.



Club sources say the transfer is now at its final stage, pending the medical examination and contract formalities. The move caps weeks of speculation around Lookman's future, with Atletico beating off late interest from other European clubs to secure the deal. Atletico agreed to a package valued at up to 40 million, including performance-related bonuses, with Lookman committing to a long-term contract that runs until 2031. The Spanish side reportedly moved quickly after decisive talks with Atalanta and the player's representatives.
