Overview

  • Inter formally informed Atalanta they have withdrawn from negotiations after a €45m offer including bonuses was rejected.
  • Photographs show Ademola Lookman back in Bergamo and working individually at Zingonia following his failed push to join Inter.
  • Atalanta CEO Luca Percassi confirmed a prior understanding that Lookman could leave only for a suitable fee to a ‘big’ club outside Serie A, complicating any domestic move.
  • La Gazzetta dello Sport reports the club is likely to fine Lookman and can dock wages for his unauthorised absence, with outcomes expected soon.
  • Fabrizio Romano reports no talks are underway with Atlético Madrid, and Alfredo Pedulla says there is no Arsenal offer, while Lookman’s availability for Sunday’s opener against Pisa remains uncertain.
