Ademola Lookman has wanted to leave Atalanta since last summer, after several very high-level seasons in the Bergamo jersey. The Nigerian striker had already been very close to a departure this winter, notably to Fenerbahçe, but the operation was ultimately unsuccessful due to a lack of total agreement between the clubs. Despite this, his desire to take on a new challenge remained intact, and his future clearly seemed to be written far from Bergamo during this winter transfer window. Especially after a great CAN where he compiled four goals and as many goals in six games.
According to Sky Italiathis exit door could now be Atlético Madrid, with whom Atalanta would have found an agreement around more than 40 million euros, bonus included. Lookman is also moving closer to contractual common ground with the Madrid club, although his final decision is still awaited. His absence from the group for the match against Como (Sunday 3 p.m.), however, reinforces the idea of an imminent transfer, which could be concluded in the last days of the transfer window.
