Reports from Sky Sport Italia claim that Ademola Lookman has already cleared his belongings out of his locker at the Atalanta training ground as he continues to push for a move to join Inter.
Sky: Lookman’s possessions cleared from Atalanta training ground
The 27-year-old has submitted a formal transfer request in an attempt to force through a move to join Inter this transfer window.
The Nigeria international posted a long statement on Instagram over the weekend explaining his decision to ask for a sale, pointing to “broken promises” from the Atalanta management, and poor treatment “as a human being and as a professional footballer.”
Atalanta CEO Luca Percassi has since confirmed that there is in fact an informal agreement allowing Lookman to leave for an appropriate fee this summer, but not for teams within Serie A, which complicates proceedings with the Nerazzurri.
In protest, Lookman has failed to report for training for the last two days.
And, according to Sky Sport Italia, the reigning African Player of the Year has already had his personal belongings emptied from his locker at the club’s Zingonia training ground.
It remains to be seen what the next steps will be, but Sky describes the situation as a “total break-up” between the player and club.
What an ungrateful player, what makes him think he’ll replace one of Lautaro or Thuram up front? Hope he’ll stink at Inter !!! #ForzaInter #VatteneAcerbi #VatteneLookman
Atalanta are making themselves look stupid! Let the boy leave for Pete’s sake!
The only one LOOKing stupid here is the man. Pun intended.
Atalanta is behaving like a rogue, since when is asking for a move became a crime? Someone said they want to continue their career elsewhere why not obliged them?
well, Atalanta should not be so stubborn, Inter are only 5m away from their asking price!
why are Italian clubs treating Nigerians players so bad, after our players helped to make them great.
A club is bigger than a player. if a player wants to leave, he should be allowed to do so. clubs fighting players is becoming rampant in serie
