Ademola Lookman is gradually getting the recognition he deserves as the Super Eagles winger could be set for the biggest move of his career when the 2025 summer window arrives.

Real Madrid’s contractual standoff with star forward Vinicius Junior could lead the Spanish giants to the front door of the Atalanta talisman who has caught the attention of Los Blancos.

According to Team Talk, Real Madrid are prepared to replace Vinícius next summer due to his refusal to renew his contract with the Spanish club amid rumours he could be set to join Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia.

Al-Hilal are reportedly preparing a ‘monumental’ move for the Brazilian forward, in which they will lodge a €300million bid for him, an offer Real Madrid will be tempted to accept.

Vinicius has been instrumental to Los Blancos’ recent success but the club will gladly accept the offer from Al-Hilal if he fails to extend his contract at Santiago Bernabeu.

Real Madrid turns attention to Lookman

Meanwhile, the Real Madrid board has its eyes on Super Eagles winger Lookman as the perfect replacement for Vinicius should the Brazilian leave at the end of the season, Fichajes reports.

The 27-year-old forward has been on Real Madrid's radar since he rose to prominence in Serie A, and his ability to play as a winger, combined with his pace and talent, makes him a prized asset.

Lookman's ability to tear through defences and create opportunities has caught the interest of several clubs, but Real Madrid appears to be the most committed to signing him.

How much will Lookman cost?

Lookman is valued by his current club Atalanta at €60million and Real Madrid will be willing to meet his price tag if they offload Vinicius next summer.

The Super Eagles winger's contract with his Serie A club runs until 2026 but Atalanta will be willing to part ways with the forward for the right amount.
