Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman has requested a transfer from Atalanta and skipped training on Monday in protest over the club\u2019s refusal to let him join Inter Milan despite a reported \u20ac45 million offer.<\/p>\n

Sources say Lookman is frustrated with Atalanta’s decision to block the move, accusing the club of going back on verbal promises to allow him leave if a suitable bid came in.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old, who starred for Nigeria at AFCON 2023 and scored 15 goals for Atalanta last season, has deleted all Atalanta-related posts from his social media.<\/p>\n

Inter\u2019s offer reportedly meets Atalanta\u2019s valuation, but the club is unwilling to sell to a Serie A rival.<\/p>\n

CEO Luca Percassi confirmed that Lookman could leave this summer but only to clubs outside Italy.<\/p>\n

The forward, under contract until 2027, now faces an uncertain future as the transfer window nears its end.<\/p>\n

Tottenham, PSG and RB Leipzig are said to be monitoring the situation but have yet to submit formal bids.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
