AS: Roma could bid for Lookman in winter window, Juventus targets sørloth

According to AS, Roma and Juventus are closely monitoring the situations of Lookman and Sørloth. The Nigerian is currently under scrutiny, though Gasperini previously brought out his best form.

Ademola Lookman is not in a good position at Atletico Madrid. He had a poor start to the season and has not performed to the expected level. However, the season is not yet a third over, and there is still time to turn things around. But so far, Lookman has only scored 2 goals and provided 1 assist. He has made 15 appearances, accumulating 735 minutes. Sørloth's season start has also been less than ideal. He sustained an injury in pre-season and only returned on October 10 in the eighth round against Deportivo Alavés.

He has only participated in 4 league matches and 2 Champions League games, with a total of only 155 minutes in official matches. Lookman's situation is already under question, while Sørloth's performance has been inconsistent. Italian clubs are eyeing these two Atletico Madrid players, and the future of both remains unclear. We will see what happens in over a month's time. Starting with Lookman, Roma is watching the Nigerian's future. Coach Gasperini has a very high opinion of the Atletico Madrid winger.

Lookman played his best football under Gasperini when he was at Atalanta. The 29-year-old Lookman is valued at 40 million euros, and his contract with Atletico Madrid expires in 2030. Atletico Madrid invested heavily in him, and Roma might make a strong offer in the upcoming winter transfer window.

However, the Italian club does not seem to have sufficient financial resources to complete such a large deal, although Roma will try to sign the attacker, who also seems dissatisfied with his situation at Atletico Madrid. He is either substituted after starting, or receives very little playing time, or even does not play at all, as was the case against Barcelona. As for Sørloth, his contract expires in 2028, meaning he has one more season left at Atletico Madrid. Sørloth is currently valued at 15 million euros and will turn 31 in December.

Simeone has consistently expressed satisfaction with him, but Juventus is also monitoring his future. Juventus wanted him this summer, but he ultimately remained with the team. Luciano Spalletti is very keen to strengthen his squad with the Norwegian striker. Atletico Madrid believes that there are not many strikers like Sørloth in the transfer market. Atletico Madrid had valued him at 40 million euros last summer, but given his limited contract remaining with the club and his limited impact at the start of this season, if he were to leave, the transfer fee would be lower than at that time.
