Lookman Informs Family Of Decision To Leave Atlanta (25470 Views)

Red-hot Super Eagles ace, Ademola Lookman has informed his family of his decision to quit Atalanta in the summer.

According to Italian and Sky Italia Sacha Tavolieri’s report on the international football transfer market on Monday.

It’s a done deal, Lookman will no longer be an Atalanta Bergamo player next season. In open conflict with his coach since his missed penalty in the last 16 of the Champions League against Club Brugge, the Nigerian has had little taste for the statements made by Gian Piero Gasperini in the Italian press.

The Nigerian who had already been on the transfer market for a year and half will be able to take advantage of the craze and the still high rating he enjoys in England to sign in the Premier League next season.

It must be said that the London native is no longer at the same level this season as in 2023-2024 when he almost single-handedly won the UEFA Europa League final against Bayer Leverkusen. Author of a historic treble, the DEA would perhaps never have lifted a European trophy without the Nigerian.

In any case, this is the discourse that filters through when we discuss the Nigerian’s situation with his entourage.

Although he has often carried the Bergamo collective on his shoulders, Lookman feels he does not receive the respect he deserves within the dressing room. An unfortunate situation that does not prevent him from being involved in 29% of his team’s goals, with twelve goals and five assists.

At 27, the man with twenty-three caps and six goals for the Super Eagles is entering the best period of his career and his entourage knows it: s have already been made with Liverpool to examine the possibility of a permanent transfer this summer. Interested, Arsenal have made inquiries but have not yet taken the concrete steps that the Reds have already started.

The latter consider the Nigerian as one of the most credible options to replace Mohamed Salah in the summer of 2025.

In this case, Saudi Arabia, whose millions make Ademola Lookman’s dream, will also have to be monitored. He has already informed his close relations that if the opportunity to play in the Saudi Pro League presents itself, he will seize it.

Atalanta and Gesperini made lookman, cos he had been wallowing in football wilderness for a long time , from England ... Gesperini bought him and made him who he is today ... if not for Atalanta and Gesperini, he would have faded off like some of those mediocre players ...
He had only scored 26 goals in his entire career b4 he ed Atalanta, even super eagles no de look e side that time .... lookman will be 28 this this ...he only started doing well 2 yrs ago after Gesperine bought him.. he was just another player at Charlton, leipzeig Fulham and Leicester

I hope he gets a better club to fulfil his full potential, most top clubs don't have problems with wingers they need forwards

His coach is jealous and lousy. Everyone knows a penalty goes 50/50. Very uncouth coach!

He shouldn't go to Saudi Arabia or the United States like some Nigerian players did in their prime. He should try as much as possible to remain in Europe.

And they couldn't make anyone else to give them Europa cup before Lookman came... 🙄

He might have improved in the club, fine, but to say they "made" him is an insult to the guy's talent.

Arteta should quickly grab this dude 😎

Most white folks cannot stomach a situation where a black guy is f**king sh*t up on their asses, especially in a far-right, semi-racist league like Seria A....If Arsenal can take on a deadwood like Sterling, taking on Lookman would be a no brainer. If,of course, Arteta isn't that daft himself

He is not an any Liverpool player at the moment. Let him remain at Atalanta or go elsewhere
