The 2025 summer transfer window is no longer quiet—it’s chaos. Nigerian stars are at the heart of the action, with blockbuster moves, emotional pleas, and some serious club vs player drama.
From Ademola Lookman’s bold push to join Inter Milan to fresh reports of Liverpool circling Victor Osimhen, plus solid updates on Kelechi Iheanacho and Chidozie Awaziem, today is one of the busiest days of the window.
Here’s your full breakdown of the biggest Nigerian transfer stories rocking the football world today.
🇳🇬 1. Ademola Lookman: Inter Milan or Bust?
🔥 Breaking: Ademola Lookman has told Atalanta he wants to leave and only for Inter Milan.
According to Italian sources, Inter have tabled a €40 million "take it or leave it" bid, and Lookman is backing it 100%.
🎙️ “I’m ready for the next step. Inter is the move I want.” – Close source to Lookman
🧠 Why This Is Huge:
- Lookman was Atalanta’s top performer last season (19 goals, 8 assists).
- He’s seen as the final piece in Inter’s attacking puzzle after losing Lautaro Martínez.
- Fans and even celebrities are supporting him. Nigerian rapper Odumodublvck said Inter should pay €120 million, citing the underestimation of African talent.
🗣️ “If he was European, they would start bidding at 100M. Put some respect on his name!” – Odumodublvck via X
⏳ Transfer Status: In advanced stages. Could be done this week.
🔴 2. Victor Osimhen: Liverpool Enter the Scene
The Osimhen transfer saga continues—and just when it looked like Galatasaray were leading, Liverpool have reportedly entered the race.
Napoli is still being difficult. They want full payment of Osimhen’s €120M release clause, and Galatasaray is struggling to match it.
But with Liverpool possibly losing Darwin Núñez or looking to rebuild under Arne Slot, Osimhen is emerging as a prime target.
⚔️ Club vs Club
- Napoli: Won’t budge unless full clause is paid.
- Galatasaray: Trying to negotiate a structured deal.
- Liverpool: Could surprise everyone with a cash offer this week.
🧠 Osimhen’s camp has not ruled out staying if no top club meets Napoli’s demands.
⏳ Transfer Status: Talks ongoing. This could explode in days.
🩺 3. Kelechi Iheanacho Returns to Training
Quietly but importantly, Kelechi Iheanacho is back in full training with Sevilla, after missing pre-season sessions due to illness.
Why this matters:
- Sevilla was considering loaning or selling him if his health didn’t improve.
- His return gives him a fresh chance to fight for a starting role.
🎯 He scored 6 goals in just 13 starts last season – fans believe he deserves more minutes.
Could this mean he stays? Or does a late move still happen?
⏳ Transfer Status: Staying, unless a strong offer comes before deadline.
🇫🇷 4. Chidozie Awaziem to FC Nantes?
Defender Chidozie Awaziem is in talks with FC Nantes over a potential return to Ligue 1.
Nantes want an experienced center-back, and Awaziem—who previously played there on loan—is on top of their shortlist.
At 27, he’s entering his prime and wants a fresh challenge after a solid season in Croatia.
✍️ A deal could be wrapped up before the weekend.
⏳ Transfer Status: Negotiations active. 70% likely to go through.
🧠 Reliable Football Round-Up:

| Ademola Lookman | Inter Milan | Advanced Talks | Wants Inter now. Bid on the table. |
