Inter Milan President Beppe Marotta is back from holiday, and ready to resume the “diplomatic mission” to sign Ademola Lookman.
Today’s print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews, report that the Nerazzurri President will very soon hold more talks with Atalanta.
At the moment, Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman is not in Italy.
The Nigerian has been no-showing training with La Dea as he aims to force his club’s hand into selling him to Inter.
Lookman has not been the only one who’s been out of the country, though. Inter President Beppe Marotta has also been on his holiday.
But today, Marotta has returned to Italy.
Marotta Back From Holiday – “Diplomatic Mission” Resumes For Lookman
According to Tuttosport, Marotta’s return to Italy is particularly significant for Inter’s pursuit of Lookman.
That is because of the fact that the talks to sign Lookman are such a “diplomatic mission.”
Atalanta have been intransigent in the face of Inter’s offers for Lookman. They have rejected two bids, and refused to give a firm counteroffer or price tag.
There is a feeling that Atalanta are digging in their heels because they want to avoid giving the impression of being a weak selling club.
Therefore, it will require some careful diplomacy on the part of Inter President Marotta to get through to Atalanta.
Great, just great. We will not make any signings or sell anybody because this old man been on holiday. Not that im against him having a break but we are in middle of a transfer window ffs. How can you spend your time on holiday when this team needs a bit.. only a bit of overhaul. Especially the defence. But yeah, i have lowered my expectations. We will basically have the same team, acerbi staying, darmian staying, mikis last year, devrij also staying. Enjoy the ride Inter fans!
why are we going sfter lookman when we have frattesi
yeah, remember that time Fratessi sprinted past people with his great speed and he dribbled around those defenders before getting off an amazing shot with his weaker foot. remember….
He’s on holiday, while we lose De Winter and Leoni chasing after a attacker who is hardly a priority.
We need solid 2 defenders and 2 solid midfielders but sure, let’s waste the whole transfer window chasing a player that Atalanta don’t want us to have.
So glad he’s had time for a holiday, while the Lookman deal has got nowhere, and Milan are about to make their move on Leoni…. hope he had a good time!!
