Another Atalanta Star Wants to Depart amid PSG Buzz

Atalanta are suddenly dealing with another thorny case as Ademola Lookman asked not to be called up for the Lecce game after receiving word of the interest from PSG. The situation compounds with the Teun Koopmeiners ordeal. Their officials are resisting in both cases.

The Nigerian star didn’t show up for practice on the eve of the opener. He’d like to be let go, but the French powerhouse reached out to him first. They haven’t contacted his team to start a proper negotiation yet.

Atalanta and PSG have yet to sit down and begin talking about the numbers of the possible Lookman signing. The Ligue 1 champions will most likely add another forward since Gonçalo Ramos suffered a major ankle injury over the weekend.

La Dea values their Europa League hero €50/60M and wants the suitors to act quickly. If he left, their first move would be to try hijacking Nico Gonzalez’s transfer to Juventus.

The Bergamaschi are trying to be hardliners with both their stars despite the offers. However, the reaction by the locker room and the fan base also needs to be taken into consideration. Gian Piero Gasperini is furious about the situation and would have liked to start the season with the whole squad in place and no lingering drama, Alfredo Pedullà informs.
