Nigerian international, Ademola Lookman, has reportedly asked to exit Italian Serie A side, Atalanta, according to sources close to the player.
Lookman, who has been with Atalanta since 2021, has been a key player for the team, scoring crucial goals and providing assists. However, it appears that the 27-year-old winger has grown unhappy with his situation at the club.
According to a source, Lookman has informed Atalanta’s management of his desire to leave the club, citing a need for a new challenge. The source revealed that Lookman is eager to join a club that can offer him more playing time and a better chance of winning trophies.
“Ademola has been a great player for Atalanta, but he feels it’s time for him to move on,” the source said. “He’s looking for a new challenge and a club that can offer him more opportunities to grow as a player.”
Lookman’s decision to exit Atalanta has sparked speculation about his potential destination. Several clubs, including Premier League sides, have been linked with the Nigerian international.
Atalanta’s management is yet to comment on Lookman’s transfer request, but it’s understood that the club is willing to listen to offers for the player.
Lookman’s exit would be a significant blow to Atalanta, who have relied heavily on his skills and pace on the wing. However, the club is confident that they can find a suitable replacement for the Nigerian international.
The transfer window is set to open soon, and Lookman’s future is likely to be a major talking point in the coming weeks. One thing is certain, however: Lookman’s next move will be closely watched by football fans around the world.
