Roma considering January move for Atletico Madrid forward Ademola Lookman

Published on: 12 November 2026

AS Roma are monitoring Ademola Lookman as they consider strengthening their attack during the January transfer window.

The Super Eagles forward has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter at Atletico Madrid, and his limited playing time could lead to a move away from the Spanish capital.

Roma are understood to be assessing Lookman’s situation before deciding whether to make a formal approach for the 28-year-old.

A move to the Italian capital could see Lookman reunite with Gian Piero Gasperini, who previously managed the Nigeria international at Atalanta.

Lookman produced some of the strongest performances of his career under Gasperini and played an important role in Atalanta’s success, including their historic UEFA Europa League triumph in 2024.

The forward’s potential return to Serie A could offer him the chance to regain his best form. However, it remains uncertain whether Roma will proceed with an official bid during the winter window.
