Ademola Lookman — Atalanta’s electric winger and the 2024 African Player of the Year — is staging a full-blown transfer saga, and Arsenal have been politely shown the exit.
Reports reveal that Lookman has rejected a potential move to the Gunners, instead insisting on joining Inter Milan, where personal terms are reportedly already agreed.
Allegedly disillusioned with Atalanta’s handling of the situation, Lookman has taken dramatic steps to force the issue. He has skipped training, scrubbed all traces of the club from his social media, and submitted a formal transfer request — after accusing Atalanta of breaking verbal promises to let him leave this window.
Despite Inter launching bids in the region of €45 million, Atalanta remain firm, demanding at least €50 million and holding out for a deal that meets their valuation. The ball is now firmly in Inter’s court to up their offer and unlock the transfer.
Bottom Line:
Lookman’s message is crystal clear — he wants Inter Milan, nothing else. It’s now up to Inter to meet Atalanta’s price or risk watching the transfer slip through their fingers.
