Ademola Lookman Refuses To Play For Atalanta As Inter Milan Prepare Third Bid

Atalanta winger Ademola Lookman has reportedly refused to play for the Serie A club as transfer tension intensifies.

According to reports, the Nigerian forward has informed Atalanta he will no longer feature for them, with Inter Milan preparing a third bid to secure his signature.

Inter have already had two offers rejected but are now said to be closing in on Atalanta’s valuation. However, the Bergamo club is reportedly keen to sell Lookman to clubs outside Italy rather than strengthen a direct rival.

Confirming the latest development, Nigerian sports journalist Onyebuchi Onokala, popularly known as Buchi Laba, wrote on X:
“100% confirmed: Inter Milan will make another offer for Ademola Lookman. This 3rd offer will be close to what Atalanta wants. Lookman has made it very clear to Atalanta he won’t play for the club anymore. He wants Inter but Atalanta wants to sell him to clubs outside Italy.”
