Nigeria international forward Ademola Lookman has put a hold on talks on a January transfer move to Turkish side Fenerbahce before the close of the window following interest from Atletico Madrid, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Lookman already agreed terms on a move to the Turkish side with only a club to club agreement yet to be in place with Atalanta, who are demanding €10 million more from what was offered.
Fenerbahce have however been dealt a cruel blow with Atletico coming into the picture, with a better offer to Atalanta and also matching what they offered to pay in salary.
The offer has now made the 28 year old to put a hold on talks with the Turkish side in line with his desire to stay in mainstream Europe. Talks with the Spanish side is now his priority.
A decision is expected in the coming hours from all involved, but the offer from the Turkish side is still on the table for his consideration despite the offer from Atletico Madrid.
