Ademola Lookman has missed pre-season training for the second day in a row as he continues to push for a transfer away from Serie A side Atalanta. His absence highlights growing tension between the Nigerian international and the club following recent developments.
The winger submitted a transfer request on Sunday, claiming the club broke promises and treated him unfairly both as a professional and as a person. His first boycott came on Monday, and he remained absent on Tuesday.
Lookman is eager to join Serie A rivals Inter Milan, who submitted a €45 million offer for the 27-year-old last week. Atalanta rejected the bid, leading to a standstill between the clubs.
The former Leicester City and RB Leipzig player appears determined to force a move. His protest suggests he hopes the club will soften its stance in light of his dissatisfaction and growing frustration.
Ademola Lookman still has two years remaining on his deal with Atalanta. However, his actions could accelerate negotiations or prompt renewed interest from Inter Milan and other clubs monitoring the situation.
The next few days may be decisive as Atalanta weigh their options and Inter consider whether to raise their bid for the Nigerian star.
