According to Italian newspaper La Repubblica, the former Atalanta forward is among the players being considered by Roma’s sporting management ahead of the January transfer window.

The Giallorossi are reportedly weighing up a possible move for the Nigerian, with initial discussions with his representatives expected to take place in the first weeks of December 2026.

Roma are keen to assess the player’s situation before deciding whether to make a formal approach when the winter transfer window opens in January.

A potential reunion with Gian Piero Gasperini could also favour the move, as Lookman previously worked under the Italian tactician during their time together at Atalanta.
