Reports from Sky Sport Italia claim that Ademola Lookman has already cleared his belongings out of his locker at the Atalanta training ground as he continues to push for a move to join Inter. 

Sky: Lookman’s possessions cleared from Atalanta training ground

The 27-year-old has submitted a formal transfer request in an attempt to force through a move to join Inter this transfer window. 

The Nigeria international posted a long statement on Instagram over the weekend explaining his decision to ask for a sale, pointing to “broken promises” from the Atalanta management, and poor treatment “as a human being and as a professional footballer.” 

Atalanta CEO Luca Percassi has since confirmed that there is in fact an informal agreement allowing Lookman to leave for an appropriate fee this summer, but not for teams within Serie A, which complicates proceedings with the Nerazzurri. 

In protest, Lookman has failed to report for training for the last two days. 

And, according to Sky Sport Italia, the reigning African Player of the Year has already had his personal belongings emptied from his locker at the club’s Zingonia training ground. 

It remains to be seen what the next steps will be, but Sky describes  the situation as a “total break-up” between the player and club.
