Despite growing speculation, Inter Milan have yet to submit an improved offer for Ademola Lookman, raising questions over their intentions to follow through with the deal.

Atalanta rejected Inter’s initial approach earlier this month. The Nerazzurri had reportedly set an internal deadline of July 30 to finalise a revised bid, with reports suggesting a €45 million plus €5 million in add-ons offer was imminent.

However, that formal bid has not materialised. Sources close to the situation revealed that only informal talks between intermediaries took place earlier this week — far from the decisive negotiations expected at this stage.

All eyes are now on the critical window between Monday, July 28, and Wednesday, July 30. If Inter fail to submit a concrete proposal during this period, the move could collapse entirely.
