Whole Market: Atlanta wants to extend Lookman’s contract with a salary increase, and he is likely to ask for a release clause.

According to reports from the All Market Network, Atlanta wants to renew Lookman's contract with a salary increase, and he is likely to ask for a termination clause.

At present, Lukman’s annual salary after tax is 1.8 million euros. Under the tax reduction policy, the club’s actual expenditure is approximately 2.5 million euros before tax per year. Atlanta believes that according to his current status, the salary should be adjusted, at least to tie up with Scamacca, who currently has the highest salary in the team. The latter's annual salary is about 3 million euros

However, all this is still just a hypothesis, and there is no formal renewal offer. Atlanta only expressed its intention to "renegotiate."

The next key is: whether Lookman is willing to renew his contract, and under what conditions. He is likely to ask for a release clause so that he can leave the team when a certain amount is reached, especially after the transfer turmoil this summer. He may also choose to stay with the team until the end of the season, and then leave with one year left before the contract expires (in the summer of 2026) for an amount far below the market price.

It is worth clarifying that Atlanta does not have any automatic renewal options. Because what Lookman signed in 2022 was a complete contract that ended in 2027, which was already the maximum period allowed by the contract law at that time, and he could not legally add an option clause for an additional year. Therefore, Lookman's contract will expire on June 30, 2027, and Atlanta does not have any unilateral right to extend it.
