Atletico Madrid have signed Ademola Lookman from Atalanta for around €35m on a contract until June 2030 — a clear attacking reinforcement. Punters could see Atletico’s match-win odds shorten and may target markets such as over 1.5 team goals, both teams to score, or Lookman anytime-scorer in early LaLiga fixtures.
Atlético Madrid complete Lookman signing on deadline day
Atlético Madrid have secured the transfer of Ademola Lookman from Atalanta, finalising the deal on the last day of the window. The 28-year-old Nigerian has committed to a contract running until June 2030, with the fee reported at €35 million plus potential add-ons.
Contract and transfer fee
Lookman arrives in Madrid on a long-term deal after Atalanta agreed terms with Atlético. The reported €35m transfer underlines Atlético’s intent to bolster their attacking options as they prepare for the new LaLiga campaign.
Career form and recent season
Lookman enjoyed standout moments at Atalanta, including a hat-trick in the Europa League final, but endured a difficult final season, finishing with three goals and two assists in 19 appearances. Across his time in Italy he amassed 55 goals and 25 assists in 137 matches.
Playing profile and background
A former Charlton Athletic academy product, Lookman arrives in LaLiga for the first time after spells in England, Germany and Italy. His pace, direct dribbling and cutting inside from wide areas give Atletico an additional option in forward positions.
Implications for Atletico and betting markets
Lookman’s arrival strengthens Atlético’s attack depth and tactical flexibility.
For punters, this transfer could shorten Atletico’s odds in early fixtures and make attacking markets more attractive — such as over 1.5 team goals, both teams to score, and Lookman in anytime-scorer or first-goal markets.
