Report – Atalanta Wantaway Star Refuses To Return To Bergamo Until Inter Milan Transfer Done
Lookman Stands Firm: Inter Milan Stalemate Leaves Atalanta Star in Limbo
Ademola Lookman's dream move to Inter Milan hangs precariously in the balance as negotiations between the two clubs stall, leaving the Nigerian star stranded and refusing to return to Bergamo.
Price Tag a Point of Contention
Atalanta has slapped an exorbitant €55 million price tag on Lookman, a figure Inter is unwilling to meet. The Nerazzurri remain firm at their €45 million offer, creating a gulf that neither side appears ready to bridge.
Lookman's Loyalty to Inter Unwavering
Despite the stalemate, Lookman has already agreed to personal terms with Inter, reportedly eager to continue his career at San Siro. However, this agreement hasn't swayed Atalanta's stance.
Atalanta Playing Hardball
The club appears determined to drag out negotiations until the end of August, mirroring a similar tactic employed last summer during protracted talks over Teun Koopmeiners with Juventus. Inter had hoped to avoid a repeat of this scenario but now faces a tense waiting game.
Time Running Out for Inter?
With time ticking away, Inter may soon need to explore alternative options if they are to secure Lookman's signature.
