Inter Milan have not pulled out of the race to sign Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman.
This according to SportItalia transfer market expert Alfredo Pedulla. He reports on his homepage that the Nerazzurri are not ready to move onto other targets yet.
The transfer soap opera between Inter, Atalanta, and Ademola Lookman has dominated the headlines over the last couple weeks.
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 determine to force through the move to Inter, as he believes that La Dea had promised as much last summer.
Atalanta’s resolve to not sell Lookman to Inter has certainly made things difficult for Inter.
The Nerazzurri are still waiting and hoping that La Dea will soften their stance.
However, Alfredo Pedulla reports that this does not mean that Inter have given up.
The Nerazzurri may not wait forever, if Atalanta simply refuse to budge.
However, Inter’s patience hasn’t run out just yet.
