Enough Is Enough: Lookman Declares War On Atalanta!

The relationship between Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman and Atalanta BC has collapsed into full-blown crisis, as the 27-year-old wages a public and personal battle to force a move to Inter Milan.

Once the hero of Bergamo—scorer of a historic hat-trick in the 2024 Europa League final—Lookman now finds himself at odds with the club that once embraced him.

According to reports from Sky Sport, the reigning African Player of the Year has taken drastic steps to sever ties with Atalanta after the club rejected multiple bids from Inter, including a €45 million offer that matched previously discussed terms.

Atalanta’s refusal to lower their €50 million valuation has triggered a dramatic response. Lookman has refused to train, deleted all Atalanta-related content from his social media, and most recently, emptied his locker at the training ground, signaling a total breakdown in trust and communication.

In a strongly worded public statement, Lookman accused the club of ‘broken promises’ and ‘poor treatment’, saying:

‘After many months of unfulfilled promises and what I feel has been poor treatment towards me… I sadly feel I have no choice but to speak out for what I believe is right. Enough is enough.’

The fallout has left Atalanta scrambling, with no official response yet issued. Lookman, meanwhile, has formally submitted a transfer request, making it clear that his future lies at San Siro, not Bergamo.

This saga, once simmering behind closed doors, has now exploded into the public eye—threatening to overshadow Atalanta’s preseason and destabilize their dressing room.

With Inter still circling and Lookman refusing to back down, the standoff is poised to dominate headlines until the transfer window slams shut.
