The 27-year-old former Everton and Fulham player is a target for Serie A rivals Inter Milan. Ademola Lookman said he had reached an agreement with the club’s board that he could leave if a “fair” offer arrived this summer.
However, Atalanta have reneged on that promise after “receiving an offer in alignment to what I believe had been discussed”. Speaking about it, he said: “I feel I have no choice but to speak out for what I believe is right and I feel that enough is enough.”
He also said: “I can confirm I have now handed in a formal transfer request.” Atalanta were “blocking the opportunity” of him leaving the club “for reasons I do not understand.” The Nigeria international scored his first career hat-trick in the 2024 Europa League final victory against Bayer Leverkusen in Dublin.
