After a lengthy transfer saga, Ademola Lookman has stayed at Atalanta, with Inter Milan pulling out of negotiations.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Nigerian forward has joined La Dea’s pre-season camp.

Despite topping Inter’s shopping list, Ademola Lookman will remain in Bergamo next season.

Indeed, after seeing their two offers turned down by the Gewiss Stadium club, Inter have pulled the plug on the deal.

Therefore, the 27-year-old will reluctantly stay at Atalanta.

Lookman even tried to force his transfer to San Siro, but to no avail.

Despite the player’s genuine ambition to join Inter, Atalanta made it impossible for the Nerazzurri to sign him.

Meanwhile, the former RB Leipzig forward spent the best part of August outside the country.

Indeed, he was in London for weeks, waiting for the clubs to engineer his move to Milan.

However, after negotiations fell apart, Lookman returned to Bergamo to join Ivan Juric’s side for late pre-season.
