The Nigerian striker has made a swift impact since his move to Spain, notching up six goals and two assists across competitions, as detailed by Softfootball.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, February 21, 2026, he netted his first goal in LaLiga, adding to his earlier contributions in the Champions League and Copa del Rey. His smooth transition to the Spanish league has been anticipated by those who have tracked his growth in football. Given his speed, directness, and more refined goal-scoring ability, Lookman&#8217;s success in Spain\u2019s top tier has been expected.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_94168\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-94168\" style=\"width: 819px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.softfootball.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/HAD0CdXWAAAKoXE-819x1024.jpg\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"Ademola Lookman to Atl\u00e9tico Madrid, here we go!

(Photo Credit: Fabrizio Romano via X)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Lookman officially transitioned from Atalanta BC to Atl\u00e9tico Madrid on February 1, 2026 in a winter transfer deal valued at \u20ac40 million, comprising a \u20ac35 million base fee and \u20ac5 million based on performance incentives. Since he joined, Lookman has brought much-needed speed and offensive acumen to Atl\u00e9tico&#8217;s attack.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, alongside his individual accomplishments, there is a sense of sorrow among Nigerian fans. Talented players like Lookman and Victor Osimhen, who are performing well on the international stage, face the distressing possibility of missing the 2026 World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>There is ongoing uncertainty regarding a case filed by the Nigeria Football Federation aiming to disqualify Congo for allegedly fielding ineligible players. If the ruling alters the qualification outcomes, Nigeria\u2019s chances could be rekindled.<\/p>\n<p>For the moment, Lookman remains focused on his club duties, consistently demonstrating why Atl\u00e9tico made a significant investment in him. Regardless of the World Cup&#8217;s outcome, his ascent in LaLiga is becoming a compelling narrative this season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"wedod-473493407\" class=\"wedod-after-content wedod-entity-placement\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1458300956780583\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1458300956780583\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ademola Lookman is emerging as one of the standout signings of the season in LaLiga.
