Super Eagles star Ademola Lookman has reportedly rejected a new contract offer from Atalanta, signaling his firm desire to join Serie A rivals Inter Milan, according to Sempre Inter.
The 27-year-old winger, who was pivotal for Atalanta last season, has made it clear that his heart is set on a move to the Nerazzurri, despite Atalanta’s desperate efforts to keep him.
Atalanta Match Inter’s Offer, But It’s Not Enough
In a last-ditch attempt to keep the Nigerian international, Atalanta matched Inter Milan’s contract proposal, hoping it would convince him to stay. However, Lookman has turned down the improved terms, making his intentions clear.
This latest development puts Atalanta in a tight spot, as they now face the imminent loss of one of their key attackers ahead of the new Serie A season.
What’s Next for Lookman?
Having made his mark in both Serie A and European competitions, Lookman appears ready to take the next step in his career with Inter Milan, who are eager to strengthen their attack with the pacey and clinical winger.
The transfer saga is expected to intensify in the coming days, with Inter likely to accelerate negotiations to finalize the deal.
