Atalanta are reportedly considering taking countermeasures against Inter Milan target Ademola Lookman.

According to FCInterNews, La Dea could stop paying the player’s wages due to his ill behavior.

Inter and Atalanta have been at odds over their valuation of Ademola Lookman.

Therefore, negotiations have hit a standstill despite the player’s desire to join the Nerazzurri.

Furthermore, the player has taken matters into his own hands.

Indeed, he has refused to join pre-season training.

Lookman’s future is on the line as Atalanta continue to play hardball over his sale.

Despite Inter’s valid attempt to lure him to San Siro, La Dea’s stance remains firm.

However, Atalanta’s stubbornness has led to a complete fallout with the Nigerian star.

With Lookman absent from pre-season training, the former Europa League winners could take drastic measures.

Indeed, Atalanta could suspend paying his wages, considering he refuses to report for training.

Such measures would likely result in an even deeper rift between the club and the player.
