Italian reports on Tuesday revealed that Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman will continue training separately from the Atalanta squad over the next two weeks, as uncertainty surrounds his future at the club.
Lookman left team training on August 4 after submitting an official transfer request, frustrated by the club’s decision to reject a €45 million offer—including bonuses—from Inter Milan.
Over the past two weeks, the striker was spotted between London and Algarve, refusing to attend training sessions despite Atalanta continuing to pay his wages.
According to Football Italia, Lookman has recently returned to Bergamo and was expected to rejoin training camp in Zingonia on Wednesday.
However, he arrived without informing the club of any changes to his plans. No formal meetings have yet been held, with Atalanta management preferring to resolve the issue behind closed doors.
The club confirmed that Lookman trained separately today, noting that he has now overcome recent fitness issues.
Sources indicated that the forward will continue to work apart from the main squad until early September, when a final decision regarding his future is expected.
The Italian transfer window closes on September 1, leaving all options still open for the Nigerian international’s next move.
