Lookman’s calf injury adds twist to €50m Inter Milan chase

Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman is facing an untimely setback, suffering a calf injury that could keep him out of action for the next few weeks.

The Nigerian international experienced discomfort during Wednesday’s training session and reported increased pain while kicking, prompting medical staff to schedule further scans.

Although initial assessments suggest it’s nothing too serious, the injury has temporarily ruled him out of full training, just as transfer talks between Inter Milan and Atalanta intensify.

According to Italian sources, Inter have tabled a €40 million offer for Lookman, who is keen to make the switch.

However, Atalanta remain firm, valuing the explosive winger at €50 million and resisting any negotiations below that figure.

Despite his injury, the 26-year-old remains in high demand after a strong season, including standout performances in the UEFA Super Cup buildup and Serie A clashes.

With personal terms reportedly agreed between Lookman and Inter, the pressure is now on the Nerazzurri to meet Atalanta’s valuation and seal the deal.
