The transfer window just got hotter for Nigerian football fans as Ademola Lookman, Atalanta’s explosive winger, has reportedly decided he will no longer lace his boots for the Serie A side.
According to multiple reports, the Super Eagles star has informed La Dea that he’s done playing for them — and all this comes right when Inter Milan is said to be preparing a third bid to sign him.
Omo, this one is going to scatter timelines!
Inter’s Relentless Pursuit
Sources claim Inter Milan has already made two attempts to snap up the Nigerian forward, but Atalanta rejected both offers. Now, insiders say the Serie A giants are ready to table a deal much closer to Atalanta’s asking price.
Nigerian sports journalist Onyebuchi Onokala (popularly known as Buchi Laba) even dropped a spicy update on X (formerly Twitter):
“100% Confirmed: Inter Milan will make another offer for Ademola Lookman. This 3rd offer will be close to what Atalanta wants. Lookman has made it very clear to Atalanta he won’t play for the club anymore. He wants Inter but Atalanta wants to sell him to clubs outside Italy.”
Club vs Player – Who Will Blink First?
From the look of things, it’s no longer just a transfer rumour — it’s now a full-blown standoff. Lookman is allegedly pushing hard for a move to Inter, but Atalanta reportedly prefers selling him to clubs outside Italy.
If this tug of war continues, omo, e fit turn full Netflix series before deadline day. Fans are now watching closely to see who will give in first — will Atalanta cash in, or will they try to play hardball until the very end?
One thing is sure — this transfer drama is far from over, and Nigerian fans will be refreshing their feeds for the next hot update.
