Atalanta have reportedly bid farewell to Inter Milan linked forward Ademola Lookman behind the scenes as a transfer seems imminent.
This according to the Corriere di Begramo, via FCInterNews. They report that the 27-year-old’s teammates have said their goodbyes in an emotional scene in training.
Inter Milan have marked Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman as their primary target in attack.
The Nigerian international won’t come cheap. Atalanta are demanding €50 million, and have rejected Inter’s opening bid of €40 million.
Therefore, there is work to be done in negotiations. However, the feeling is that Inter will soon return with an improved bid.
Furthermore, Lookman himself is very much pushing for the transfer.
And behind the scenes at Atalanta, the Corriere di Bergamo report that there is an air of farewell.
It is no secret that Lookman wants a big move away. He had accepted staying last summer, despite strong interest from Paris Saint-Germain – but this time, it should be different.
Therefore, the Corriere di Bergamo report, Lookman’s teammates know well enough that the former Everton and RB Leipzig forward will soon leave.
Yesterday, the Nigerian was at the training ground. He’s not training due to a calf problem, but worked on individual therapy and assessment.
And whilst Lookman was at the training ground, the Corriere di Bergamo report that his teammates said their goodbyes.
