Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman is not budging in his transfer stance, as he only wants to join Inter Milan.
This according to today’s print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews.
The transfer soap opera between Inter, Atalanta, and Ademola Lookman has dominated the headlines over the last week.
The Nigerian international very publicly demanded a transfer to Atalanta last weekend. This after Atalanta had rejected a second offer from the Nerazzurri.
Then, Lookman took things a step further. The 27-year-old – who had already scrubbed all traces of Atalanta from his social media accounts – began no-showing training.
There’s no indication that Lookman plans to return to training for Atalanta.
The player is determined to force through the move to Inter, as he believes that La Dea had promised as much last summer.
For their part, Atalanta could still be waiting for other offers to come in for Lookman.
By all accounts, the Bergamo club would prefer to sell the Nigerian abroad. They are not keen to sell him to rivals within Serie A.
However, according to Tuttosport, Lookman himself has only dug in his heels.
The 27-year-old has decided he wants his next club to be Inter. And he’s sticking to that desire.
