Inter Milan Target Expected Back In Training For Atalanta This Week As Transfer Saga Takes Bitter Turn | OneFootball

Ademola Lookman is expected back in training for Atalanta this week as the transfer saga linking him to Inter Milan grows increasingly bitter.

This according to Italian broadcaster SportMediaset, via FCInterNews. They report that the Nigerian international should be back in training Monday or Tuesday.

At the moment, Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman is on the sidelines with a calf injury.

The 27-year-old has therefore not been part of the team that travelled to Germany to face RB Leipzig in a friendly match yesterday.

However, the timing of this injury has meant that Lookman has been out of action whilst Inter are reportedly negotiating to sign him from Atalanta.

It is no secret that the former Fulham and RB Leipzig forward wants to join the Nerazzurri.

Yesterday, Atalanta reportedly rejected a second offer from Inter for Lookman.

And that has seen the transfer saga take a particularly bitter turn.

That is the case for Atalanta, who appear reluctant to sell Lookman. And for Inter, who are hitting major roadblocks in a deal they were hoping to wrap up quickly.

But in particular, Lookman reacted furiously to yesterday’s developments. The 27-year-old removed all traces of Atalanta from his Instagram account.

This was not exactly a subtle gesture. The Nigerian was telling Atalanta that he does not intend to play for them anymore. He is trying to force their hand and get his move to Inter.

However, Lookman has not kicked up a fuss directly with Atalanta.

On the other hand, things could come to a head soon. La Dea expect Lookman back in training by Monday or Tuesday as he recovers from his calf injury.

And this could be more than a little bit awkward, considering that the player has made crystal clear that he wants to leave.
