Inter Milan have reportedly withdrawn from the race to sign Atalanta star Ademola Lookman after careful reassessment.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Serie A runners-up have canceled their pursuit of the 27-year-old.
Despite spending most of the summer chasing Lookman’s signature, Inter have finally admitted defeat.
Indeed, Atalanta’s unpreparedness to negotiate the Nigerian’s exit has caused the Nerazzurri to pull the plug on the transfer.
As a result, Ademola Lookman will likely stay in Bergamo next season.
Inter Milan Cancel Pursuit of Atalanta Ace Ademola Lookman
Lookman has quickly agreed on personal terms with Inter.
Furthermore, he had put in his best effort to force La Dea to sanction his move to San Siro, but to no avail.
After seeing their two bids rejected by Atalanta, Inter have decided to call off their pursuit of the former RB Leipzig forward.
Indeed, Cristian Chivu needs reinforcements elsewhere, making the club prioritize other deals.
With Francesco Pio Esposito back at San Siro, there’s no need for another forward.
Therefore, Inter will try to spend the €40 million earmarked for Lookman’s arrival on someone else.
I’m exhausted
fml….
The most stupid club and management I have ever seen.
Inter management are the most foolish management I have ever seen. How can you rely on an unproven striker? Inter should have sold Bisseck and buy Lookman and De Winter. Inter management are cheap greedy losers.
Bring Aleksey Batrakov as attacking midfielder. 20 years old, transfer price up to 20 mil. Last season 24 g+a, this 8 goals on 7 games. With Carboni next season instead of Frattesi we’ll have one of the youngest, with much potential, and huge resale value AM duo in Europe.
