Ademola Lookman has reportedly rejected the idea of joining Arsenal, as he is waiting for another move by Inter Milan.
This according to today’s print edition of the Corriere di Bergamo, via FCInterNews. They report that the Nerazzurri could soon raise their offer for Lookman to €50 million.
One thing that looks extremely clear is that Ademola Lookman wants to leave Atalanta this summer.
The 27-year-old made a public transfer request. He accused La Dea of breaking a “promise” to sell him this summer.
Furthermore, Lookman has no-showed training for the past few days.
It is also no secret that Lookman wants to join Inter. The player already has an agreement on personal terms with the Nerazzurri, who have had two offers turned down by Atalanta already.
Ademola Lookman Rejects Arsenal – Only Wants Inter
However, Inter are not necessarily the only team to be eyeing up a move for Lookman.
And the more time that passes without the Nerazzurri securing a deal, the likelier it is that other big European clubs could see the possibility to hijack the move.
One particularly formidable rival for Lookman’s signature would be Arsenal.
The Gunners have reportedly been considering a move to take advantage of Lookman’s unsettled situation.
According to the Corriere di Bergamo, however, Lookman himself would have little interest in a switch to North London.
The Nigerian wants Inter. And he’s waiting for the Nerazzurri to make a new offer to Atalanta.
I appreciate his desire to join Inter, but we ain’t buying him for 60mil let alone 50mil. There is no way. Can he just accept Arsenals offer so we can move on? Its been 4 fukn weeks and there is no progression!!!
I agree. Mid nothing gets done by the end of this week. It’s time to move on. I’m more concerned we will miss out on Leoni spending all this time on Lookman. We can NOT miss out on Leoni!!!!
