Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman is still yet to return to Italy as his transfer saga with Inter Milan continues.
This according to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews. They report that the long-running transfer soap opera should resume decisively at the start of next week.
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.
