Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman is set for a big and bitter fight with his Italian club Atalanta over a transfer possibly to PSG.
Ademola Lookman pulled out of his team’s opening Serie A match at Lecce because he wishes to make a transfer.
Atalanta coach Gian Piero admitted the player’s decision to quit was “unexpected”.
Atalanta sports director Luca Parcassi has now gone further to say that Ademola Lookman has been “wrongly advised” and it will be the club and not the player who will decide on any transfer.
He stressed that the interest of Atalanta will be priority.
“We are very calm because our idea, which is shared by the coach, the club and the owners, was for the first time in our history not to let important players leave,” he told SkySports
“All players belong to Atalanta and the club will decide what will be done based on what is best for the team.
“Unfortunately, these guys are too often given bad advice. The fact that the transfer window is open when the season starts makes it feel endless.”
Ademola Lookman, 26, joined the Italian club in August 2022.
His contract runs out June 2026 with the club also having the option to extend by an additional year.
His Transfermarkt valuation is 40 Million Euros.
