Nigerian international Ademola Lookman is reportedly preparing to end his successful spell with Atalanta, as sources from Tuttomercatoweb.com confirm the forward has made a definitive decision to leave the club at the end of the current Serie A season.
Lookman, who has been a standout performer for the Bergamo-based side since joining, is said to have reached a gentleman’s agreement with the club management to part ways this summer. Although his next destination remains undisclosed, the development has sparked widespread speculation across Italy and beyond.
“Ademola Lookman has already made the most important decision about his future. He will no longer be at Atalanta,” the Italian outlet reported.
Despite Atalanta’s up-and-down season, Lookman has remained a shining light. According to player ratings published by Tuttomercatoweb.com, he currently shares the highest average rating in Serie A 6.52 alongside Nico Paz of Como. These ratings are based on players who have featured in at least 19 matches this season.
Lookman outperformed high-profile names like:
- Nicolò Barella (Inter) – 6.50
- Marcus Thuram (Inter) – 6.48
- Paulo Dybala (Roma) – 6.48
- Mateo Retegui (Atalanta) – 6.46
This places the Super Eagles winger among the most consistent performers in Italy’s top flight.
A Long-Awaited Transfer Move
This is not the first time Lookman has been linked with a move away from Atalanta. He reportedly came close to an exit last season but remained with the club for another campaign. Now, with all signs pointing to a summer departure, interest is expected to heat up from both Serie A rivals and clubs across Europe.
Discussions on Lookman’s future have also featured prominently in Tuttomercatoweb’s latest podcast, hosted by respected journalist Marco Conterio, who emphasized the player’s growing profile and the likely competition for his signature in the upcoming transfer window.
At just 27, Ademola Lookman remains at the peak of his powers. His combination of pace, creativity, and goal-scoring prowess has made him a vital asset for both Atalanta and the Nigerian national team. Wherever he goes next, Lookman is expected to command serious attention and play a central role.
For now, Atalanta fans will hope the winger can help the team finish strong, possibly clinching a place in next season’s European competitions.
