Fulham striker Rodrigo Muniz joining Atalanta could finally unlock the transfer of Ademola Lookman to Inter Milan.
This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews.
The transfer saga between Inter, Atalanta, and Ademola Lookman continues to drag on.
As the Gazzetta note, the Nerazzurri and La Dea are still waiting to contact each other for another round of talks.
In the meantime, though, Atalanta are working on another big piece of transfer business.
The Bergamo club are pushing to sign Fulham striker Rodrigo Muniz.
Fulham are asking for €50 million to sell the Brazilian. Meanwhile, Atalanta are offering €40 million plus add-ons.

The Gazzetta dello Sport note that Rodrigo Muniz would be the player Atalanta see as the replacement for Mateo Retegui.
Therefore, the 24-year-old would not exactly be the direct replacement for Ademola Lookman.
However, the unexpected sale of Retegui has been one of the factors that has made Atalanta so reluctant to sell Lookman.
La Dea have not wanted to further weaken their attacking options before replacing Retegui.
Therefore, the Gazzetta anticipate, the arrival of Muniz could make Atalanta more open to selling Lookman. Accordingly, they could finally open up to Inter’s offer for the Nigerian.
