Revealed – Why Inter Milan & Atalanta Are Continuing Tense Wait For Further Lookman Talks | OneFootball

Inter Milan and Atalanta are continuing to wait to restart talks for Ademola Lookman in order to de-escalate the situation.

Sky Sport Italia report, via FCInter1908, that the two Lombard clubs want to make sure the atmosphere is calm when they return to the table.

The transfer soap opera between Inter, Atalanta, and Ademola Lookman has dominated the headlines over the last week.

The Nigerian international very publicly demanded a transfer to Atalanta last weekend. This after Atalanta had rejected a second offer from the Nerazzurri.

Then, Lookman took things a step further. The 27-year-old – who had already scrubbed all traces of Atalanta from his social media accounts – began no-showing training.

There’s no indication that Lookman plans to return to training for Atalanta.

The player is determine to force through the move to Inter, as he believes that La Dea had promised as much last summer.

After everything that’s happened in the past week, there is real bad blood regarding Inter’s advances to sign Lookman.

Therefore, reports Sky Sport Italia, neither club want to rush back to negotiations.

Inter and Atalanta are taking a few days to cool down and reassess their stances.

Then, likely at the start of next week, the two Lombard clubs will continue the talks.
