Napoli Eye Super Eagles’ Ademola Lookman as Kvaratskhelia’s Replacement

Posted : 11 June 2025

Napoli are intensifying their efforts to recruit Ademola Lookman from Atalanta, with the Nigerian international emerging as their primary choice to fill the creative void left by the departure of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who joined Paris Saint-Germain in January.

Sources suggest Napoli’s sporting director is exploring a potential swap deal involving forward Giacomo Raspadori to ease negotiations. Atalanta remain cautious about sanctioning the move, valuing Lookman as a key component of their lineup.

Since joining Atalanta in 2022, 27-year-old Lookman has emerged as one of Serie A’s most dynamic attackers. He scored an impressive 14 goals and provided seven assists last season en route to being crowned the 2024 African Footballer of the Year.

Legendary striker Antonio Cassano has also publicly urged Napoli to secure Lookman, citing his consistency and tactical fitting, especially in light of Kvaratskhelia’s €75 million exit.

Although Napoli had previously eyed Manchester United's Alejandro Garnacho, the focus has now shifted decisively to Lookman, whose ability to both score and craft chances makes him an ideal successor in their high-press system.

With that in mind, Napoli appear poised to make Lookman their top summer signing, hoping his arrival will maintain their offensive momentum and align with Antonio Conte’s tactical vision.
