Ademola Lookman has left Italy to undergo medical tests ahead of his proposed move from Atalanta to Atlético Madrid.

The Nigeria international was absent from Atalanta’s Serie A fixture against Como on Sunday and was later spotted at Bergamo Airport preparing to fly to the Spanish capital.

Atalanta confirmed an agreement with Atlético Madrid earlier on Sunday, clearing the way for Lookman to complete the move.

The transfer is valued at €40 million, including add-ons, with the Spanish side meeting Atalanta’s preferred terms.
