Lookman has ‘gone missing’ from Atalanta as Inter prepare new bid | OneFootball

According to the Corriere dello Sport, Ademola Lookman has left Bergamo, with Inter preparing to offer €46m plus a young player to convince Atalanta.

The situation has deteriorated beyond repair and after two days of not turning up to training as scheduled, he is seemingly taking more steps to prove it’s over with Atalanta.

Corriere dello Sport editor Ivan Zazzaroni claims that Lookman has left the city of Bergamo and nobody knows where he is, except for his agent.

This forces Atalanta to deal directly with the representative, and they can have no talks with the player himself, who is on strike.

Inter saw the offer of €45m including add-ons rejected, which prompted his anger and frustration.

They could be planning a new proposal, which the same source maintains will be worth €46m plus a youth team player to reach the €50m asking price.

It remains to be seen which player they will accept, seeing as Inter had refused to hand over Pio Esposito as part of the deal a few weeks ago.
