Juventus are monitoring Ademola Lookman ahead of a potential summer move, with the Atalanta forward also attracting strong interest from Premier League heavyweights Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester United, Soccernet.football reports.
The 27-year-old Nigerian international has been in outstanding form since joining Atalanta in 2022, playing a pivotal role in their Europa League triumph last season.
Alongside Victor Osimhen and Victor Boniface, Lookman is one of the most sought-after Nigerian forwards in Europe, with clubs across England and Italy keeping a close eye on his situation.
According to reports from Tutto Juve, Juventus have identified Lookman as a key attacking reinforcement as they look to strengthen their squad for next season.
The Bianconeri have struggled in front of goal this campaign, netting just 41 times in Serie A—a tally that falls below two goals per game. With new manager Thiago Motta aiming to revitalise the squad, an attacking shake-up is expected in Turin.

Lookman, valued at around €55 million (£47m), is entering the final year of his contract at Atalanta. The Italian club, aware of his growing market demand, could set an asking price closer to €70 million (£60m) to cash in while they still hold leverage.
The former Everton and Fulham forward has had an adventurous career, featuring in the Bundesliga, Premier League, and Serie A.
However, a return to England could be tempting, given his unfinished business in the Premier League. His previous stints at Everton and Fulham were underwhelming, but his development at Atalanta has transformed him into a dynamic attacking threat.
While Juventus could offer Lookman a lucrative contract and a leading role in their attack, the lure of playing for an elite English club might ultimately sway his decision.
With Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester United all monitoring his situation, the Super Eagles star could have a significant choice to make this summer.
