Nigerian Star’s Atalanta Exit Hits Stalemate Amid Broken Promises and Training Boycott
The future of Ademola Lookman remains uncertain as Inter Milan refuse to raise their €45 million bid for the Atalanta forward, despite the Nigerian international’s escalating frustration with his current club.
The 26-year-old, crowned African Player of the Year, has been at the center of a heated transfer saga after accusing Atalanta of reneging on a promise to let him leave this summer. Lookman’s public outburst—followed by his refusal to report for training—has intensified tensions, with La Dea insisting they will only sell him to a “top club” outside Italy.
Inter, determined to avoid a bidding war, have capped their offer at €50 million including bonuses. But with Atalanta reluctant to strengthen a Serie A rival, negotiations have stalled. Meanwhile, Napoli—who eyed Lookman as a potential replacement for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in January—remain in the shadows, ready to revive their interest if Inter walk away.
As the standoff continues, one thing is clear: Lookman’s days in Bergamo appear numbered, but his next destination is still up for grabs.
