PSG Propose Contract to Lookman Worth 200% of His Atalanta Salary

• Paris Saint-Germain are interested in signing Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman
• The French champions are exploring possibilities of bolstering their attack with the forward
• They have proposed personal terms details to the Atalanta star despite no club-to-club talks

Ademola Lookman could be set for a massive payday if he joins Paris Saint-Germain after the French Ligue 1 club proposed a huge salary raise to him.

Many expected Lookman to be one of the first players to leave Italy after his brilliant end to last season, but he did not get concrete offers early on in the summer.

He had limited attention on him throughout last season, but he alerted the entire Europe to himself when he netted a hat trick in the Europa League final. He was the first player to do so, as noted by UEFA.

According to Calcio Mercato, the Parisians have made a proposal to the 26-year-old on a five-year contract worth €4.5m, making him one of the highest-paid Nigerians.
