Overview

• Ademola Lookman has skipped multiple training sessions and cleared his personal belongings from Atalanta’s Zingonia facility as he pushes to join Inter Milan.
• Atalanta management has reaffirmed its policy against selling to domestic rivals and rejected Inter’s €45 million bid, insisting on a €50 million fee.
• Inter Milan is reportedly preparing an improved offer that could match Atalanta’s €50 million valuation by combining cash with a young player.
• Lookman’s agent, Andrea D’Amico, has warned the forward may seek unilateral contract termination and compensation under the Diarra ruling.
• Atalanta’s sell-one-per-season philosophy and recent profit from Mateo Retegui’s sale have reduced financial pressure to negotiate further.
