Despite the offer rejected this afternoon by Inter, Atalanta has nevertheless decided not to officially call up Ademola Lookman for the away friendly scheduled for tomorrow afternoon at 3:00 PM at the Red Bull Arena against Leipzig.
The Nigerian forward, who has been back training with a personalized program for a few days, is about to fully recover from the calf injury that kept him out for the past two weeks. Although his condition is clearly improving, he did not travel with his teammates for the match in Germany.
There are two reasons behind this missed call-up: the first clearly concerns the calf injury he is recovering from; the second refers to the negotiations with Inter. Lookman has officially asked Atalanta to be transferred and to accept the offer from the Nerazzurri.
After this initial refusal from the Bergamo club, the forward publicly shared all his disappointment. We will see if the parties will reach a total break, or if in the end Atalanta will decide to change its mind, satisfying the player’s wishes and Inter’s requests.
