Lookman AWOL At Atalanta Training As Furious Row Intensifies

The latest chapter in the Ademola Lookman row with Atalanta saw him fail to attend training today, as he tries to force through the transfer to Inter.

The rapport between the player and his club has hit rock bottom and the situation seems to be at a breaking point.

According to multiple sources, Lookman was expected at the Zingonia training ground today for pre-season commitments, but was nowhere to be seen.

Lookman has declared war on Atalanta

It comes after he published a long statement on Instagram accusing Atalanta of “broken promises” and confirming he had handed in a formal transfer request.

La Dea responded in the form of CEO Luca Percassi, who insisted that while they had promised to sell him this summer if a suitable offer arrived, it was to a club outside of Italy, not their Serie A direct competitors Inter.

Now this refusal to attend training will further bring matters to a head, as Inter hope they can convince Atalanta by increasing their proposal of €42m plus €3m in add-ons.

This gesture just makes it clear how aggressive the action taken by Lookman is becoming, and it remains to be seen how his club will respond.

The 27-year-old is under contract until June 2027.
