Ademola Lookman was not listed by Atalanta for today’s Serie A match against Lecce despite playing the Super Eagles 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and South Africa this past week.
The player, whose contract with Atalanta is until June 2027, made it clear during the summer transfer window that he wishes to quit the Italian club and this led to a long-drawn transfer saga.
