Ademola Lookman has made headlines after removing all signs of Atalanta from his Instagram profile.
The Nigerian forward, who was named African Player of the Year, has deleted club photos and wiped Atalanta from his bio. This action has raised more questions about his future.
Inter Milan wants to sign Lookman before the new season. They offered €45 million, with €42 million paid right away and the rest in bonuses. But Atalanta rejected the offer, insisting on at least €50 million to let him go.
Lookman is not hiding his interest in joining Inter. Reports say he already agreed on personal terms with the club.
He also turned down a new contract from Atalanta. This shows he wants a move to the San Siro.
Will Inter Raise Their Offer?
Lookman had a great season. He scored 20 goals in all competitions, 15 of them in the league. His speed and skill helped Atalanta reach the UEFA Champions League.
Inter Milan sees him as a key part of their future attack under coach Cristian Chivu.
Inter coach Cristian Chivu wants a fast and skillful forward who can play in many positions.
Lookman fits that role perfectly. But with Atalanta refusing to lower their price, Inter must decide quickly whether to pay or walk away.
