When asked about the possibility of playing in La Liga, Lookman shared:
"The football there is just amazing. The quality is evident—you see it with the top teams. The football is great, but those thoughts are for the future.
"You always want to play at the highest level and achieve a lot. When the time is right, we shall see.
"All the top teams in the world play attractive football, and that’s appealing to me. As a forward, attacking football is always exciting because it’s about scoring goals and creating opportunities for teammates."
When pressed to choose between Barcelona and Real Madrid, Lookman gave a diplomatic response:
“I don’t know.”
These comments from Lookman subtly reinforce earlier reports linking him with a move to Real Madrid.
Whether a transfer from Atalanta to one of Spain’s footballing giants materialises remains uncertain.
