Ademola Lookman’s time at Atalanta appears to be coming to an end following a public dispute with head coach Gian Piero Gasperini.
The fallout began after Lookman missed a crucial penalty during Atalanta’s Champions League elimination against Club Brugge.
Gasperini publicly criticized the Nigerian forward, calling him “one of the worst penalty takers” he had ever coached.
In response, Lookman took to social media, labeling the remarks as “deeply disrespectful.”
The controversy has fueled speculation about Lookman’s exit, with reports suggesting Atalanta had already planned his departure before the incident.
Meanwhile atlanta’s president Antonio Percassi has stated that the club will not force Lookman to stay if he wishes to leave.
Meanwhile, Premier League clubs, including Arsenal and Liverpool, have shown strong interest in signing the Super Eagles star, as both clubs have reportedly made contact regarding a potential summer move.
With the transfer window approaching, Lookman’s future remains a hot topic in European football, and a return to England could be on the horizon.
