Ademola Lookman Demands Transfer Amid Atalanta Dispute
In a dramatic turn of events shaking the الدوري الإيطالي landscape, Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman has publicly voiced his frustrations with أتالانتا, accusing the club of mistreatment and unfulfilled commitments. This bold move highlights ongoing tensions in the transfer market, where players increasingly assert their rights. As the summer window heats up, Lookman’s situation could reshape team dynamics for the upcoming season.
Lookman’s Explosive Statement on Atalanta’s Handling
The 27-year-old winger, eager for a fresh start away from Atalanta this transfer period, has escalated matters by formally requesting a departure. He claims the club has mistreated him and deliberately obstructed potential moves to other teams.
A key excerpt from Lookman’s revealing post on Instagram states: “Multiple teams have reached out to Atalanta before, and I’ve remained committed each time. But now, the club’s leadership and I agreed that this is the ideal moment for a change, with assurances that a reasonable bid would lead to my exit. Regrettably, even with a suitable proposal on the table, they’re halting it for unclear motives. Following repeated letdowns and what I see as disrespectful behavior toward me personally and professionally, I must stand up for myself. It’s time to draw the line. I’ve officially submitted my transfer request.”

Inter Milan’s Pursuit and Valuation Challenges
Reports indicate that Inter Milan has tabled several offers for Lookman during this window, yet none have matched Atalanta’s steep €50 million (£43.5m) asking price. The ex-Leicester City player has delivered an impressive record, netting 52 goals and providing 25 assists across 118 appearances for the Bergamo side, including a standout performance in their 2024 الدوري الأوروبي victory. With this recent outcry, his tenure at the club appears to be nearing a conclusion.
Potential Outcomes and Contract Details
Lookman, previously linked with أرسنال و باريس سان جيرمان, has two years remaining on his deal with Atalanta. Whether he can finalize a switch to Inter or elsewhere before the deadline is uncertain, but his statement adds pressure to negotiations. Recent transfer trends, such as the high-profile moves in the 2024 window involving players like Victor Osimhen, suggest that player power is on the rise, potentially influencing Lookman’s case favorably.
