Inter Milan and Atalanta are reportedly still at a “total stalemate” over the transfer of forward Ademola Lookman.
This according to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews. They report that the player has returned to Portugal, while news on the transfer saga will come on Sunday at the earliest.
The transfer saga between Inter, Atalanta, and Ademola Lookman has now dragged on for the better part of a month.
Inter have made two offers for the Nigerian international. First, they made a bid worth €40 million all-in. Then, after Atalanta rejected that, they increased it to €45 million including add-ons.
Atalanta then rejected Inter’s second bid for Lookman.
And in the meantime, the former RB Leipzig forward has done everything he possibly can to force through a move to Inter.
Lookman has publicly demanded a transfer. he has also no-showed training for well over a week.
Inter & Atalanta At “Total Stalemate” Over Ademola Lookman
According to Sky Sport Italia, there have been no new developments in Lookman’s situation.
The broadcaster report that Inter and Atalanta are still not in contact since La Dea rejected the last offer.
Therefore, there are currently no conditions for a transfer for the Nigerian.
However, Lookman has returned to Portugal after spending the last few days in England. He is training alone to keep his fitness up for the new season.
According to Sky Sport Italia, there could be new contacts on Sunday at the earliest. This could see Lookman’s situation change.
For now, however, things have slowed down to a standstill.
I like Lookman a lot, but also think he’s not the answer for our problems right now. We need to go for a good Centerback and maybe someone for a near future ( Loic Balde + A yougster) and try a do get rid os aslani and taremi ( we could go for Kang lee from PSG on loan with option)
What stalemate? They said they do not want to sell to us so just leave them alone!! This obsession is way too much even from a perspective as a fan.
Focus on buying a quality, established CB. Not a talent with potential, but an established one. Sell Asllani and Taremi for whatever is offered to you. The transfer window was mismanaged, at least rectify it to some degree.
