Overview

• Ademola Lookman has continued to refuse training since August 4 after submitting a formal transfer request, intensifying the standoff at Atalanta.
• Atalanta has held firm on its €50 million valuation, citing a one-major-sale-per-season rule and a 10–15% profit-sharing clause with RB Leipzig.
• Inter Milan, limited to €45 million before bonuses, is preparing to renew its bid after its previous offer was rejected.
• Arsenal’s potential £44 million proposal faces Atalanta’s policy against domestic rival sales, and Lookman has publicly insisted on joining Inter Milan.
• Napoli remains a possible alternative suitor if Inter withdraws, adding another dimension to the stalled negotiations.
