Inter probably expected an easier negotiation, also given the good relations with Atalanta. Instead, the Ademola Lookman case is becoming increasingly complicated, with yesterday’s words from Percassi adding further fuel to the fire.

A fire also fueled by the attitude of the Nigerian player, who did not show up for training in Zingonia yesterday. A break that now seems definitive, as highlighted by La Gazzetta dello Sport, and which Inter is observing from a distance.

As reported by the Rosea, the Nerazzurri management reacted without any surprise to Percassi’s statements. On the contrary, such comments were predictable and, therefore, do not change Inter’s plans for the Nigerian.

Also strengthened by Lookman’s increasingly clear desire, the Nerazzurri’s renewed offer is now practically certain, with the management set to move forward in the coming days to adjust the €45 million offer, bonuses included.
