Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman has cleared out his locker at Atalanta’s training ground, intensifying his push for a move to Inter Milan.
The 26-year-old submitted a formal transfer request, accusing the club of broken promises and poor treatment. While Atalanta CEO Luca Percassi acknowledged an informal agreement to let him leave for a suitable offer, he insisted the club won’t sell to Serie A rivals.
Atalanta rejected Inter’s €42m plus €3m bid, demanding €50m including bonuses. Lookman has since skipped training for two straight days, seen as a move to force the club’s hand.
Despite his actions, Atalanta has not sanctioned Lookman but remains firm on its terms. Atletico Madrid and Napoli have shown interest, though Inter remains his top choice.
