Ademola Lookman is not in the Atalanta squad for today’s friendly match against RB Leipzig amid persistent transfer links with Inter Milan.
The Nigerian is out as he reportedly recovers from a calf injury. However, the transfer saga is also in the background.

Inter Milan have received Atalanta’s response to their second offer for forward Ademola Lookman. And it was not the one that they were hoping for.
La Dea have rejected the Nerazzurri’s offer of €45 million including add-ons. That is up from the €40 million bid that Inter had made a couple of weeks ago.
This has left Inter frustrated. And it has also drawn the ire of Lookman himself, who has scrubbed mention of Atalanta from his Instagram account.
Ademola Lookman Out Of Atalanta Squad Vs RB Leipzig
In the meantime, Ademola Lookman is not in the Atalanta squad that travelled to Germany this week.
New La Dea coach Ivan Juric is leading the team out in a friendly match against RB Leipzig.
However, Lookman is not part of the squad available to the Croatian tactician.
However, this is not the result of Lookman being imminently up for sale.
Rather, the 27-year-old is still recovering from a calf issue according to reports.
Let’s sign Leoni, forget him. We’ll see how Atalanta deal with wantaway player in their squad
They will sell it cheaper to Jube, Bilan or even Roma.
Unfortunately this is the more likely situation to happen but it’ll also show Atalanta have no integrity to their valued players when they want to leave. Lookman was supposed to leave this season as he was promised
He is their asset and they ve right to demand 50 million, other teams don’t sell for cheap like ours
The guy is prone of injiry 45M is exaggerated, so move on.
