Ademola Lookman, a winger from Nigeria, claims he has requested a transfer from Atalanta after being accused of “breaking promises” by the club.
The 27-year-old, who is reportedly a target for Serie A rivals Inter Milan, claimed to have reached a deal with the club’s board to let him leave if a “fair” offer were made this summer.
The England-born winger claims Atalanta broke its promise after receiving an offer that “achieved what I believe had been discussed” but that it was not.
Lookman wrote on social media that “I feel like I have no choice but to speak out for what I think is right.”
For reasons I do not understand, Lookman claimed Atalanta were “blocking the opportunity” for him to leave the club.
In 2022, the Nigerian international left RB Leipzig for Atalanta.
In Dublin’s Europa League final match against Bayer Leverkusen in 2024, he scored his first career hat-trick.
In 117 games for the Italian side, Lookman has scored 52 goals.
