Take It Or Leave It – Atalanta Send Inter Milan Ultimatum Over Star Forward | OneFootball

Atalanta have reportedly issued an ultimatum to Inter Milan over the deal formula for versatile forward Ademola Lookman.

According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Serie A runners-up find themselves in a ‘take it or leave it’ situation.

It’s impossible for any transfer in Italy to go without a long-running saga, and Lookman’s deal is no different.

Despite the player’s desire to join the Nerazzurri, the deal cannot go smoothly.

Indeed, Atalanta found Inter’s opening bid unacceptable as they have no intention of negotiating a loan formula.

Instead, they would only consider an immediate sale.

As aforementioned, Inter’s €40 million offer didn’t meet Atalanta’s demands.

La Dea continue to stick to their €50m valuation.

Furthermore, Inter had hoped to sign Ademola Lookman on loan with an obligation to buy.

However, it will not be possible as the Bergamo giants only want an outright sale.

The ball is now in Inter’s court, and it’s up to Beppe Marotta and Piero Ausilio to piece together a satisfying bid.
