Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman is reportedly suffering from a calf problem that could leave him sidelined for a few weeks, La Gazzetta dello Sport claim.

The Italian newspaper, via SOSFanta, are reporting that after failing some discomfort in his calf after Wednesday’s training session, he began to felt more pain when kicking the ball and is set to undergo an examination to inspect the extent of the injury.

It appears to be nothing major but for now it leaves the Nigerian forward out of full training with Atalanta.

Inter negotiations short of Atalanta demands for Lookman

Inter have reportedly submitted a first bid of €40 million to the Bergamo club for the former Fulham player. However, Atalanta value the player at €50 million and are not prepared to budge from this valuation.

The player wants to join Inter and reports claim an agreement has already been reached between the player and Inter informally – but now the Nerazzurri will have to put their money where their mouth is if they wish to convince Atalanta to part ways with the talented attacker.
