Ademola Lookman Requests Transfer From Atalanta Citing Broken Promises and Poor Treatment

PROVINCIA DI BERGAMO, LOMBARDY, AUG 3 – Lookman seeks transfer amid Atalanta's refusal to accept Inter Milan's €42 million plus bonuses offer, with the club holding out for a €50 million valuation, sources say.

  • On August 03, 2025, Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman handed in a formal transfer request to pursue a move to Inter Milan.
  • Amid frayed relations, Lookman said the request followed months of broken promises and poor treatment by Atalanta, which he felt was blocking a fair exit for reasons he did not understand.
  • Inter Milan’s 42 million plus 3 million in bonuses offer fell short of Atalanta’s 50 million valuation, which the club continues to hold for a transfer fee.
  • Meanwhile, Inter Milan’s talks expanded to include Christopher Nkunku as an alternative, with Lookman recently scrubbing all Atalanta content from his social media.
  • Earlier this week, Atalanta CEO Luca Percassi confirmed the club planned to sell Lookman this summer under its one-sale-per-year strategy, noting his long-standing desire to leave.
