According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInter1908, La Dea chiefs have become increasingly irritated by the parties’ behavior.

Any loan deal is of no interest to Atalanta.

Indeed, the former Europa League winners will only let their standout forward leave for €50m

Furthermore, they expect the entire sum to be paid upfront without installments or performance-related bonuses.

Meanwhile, Inter and Lookman continue to flirt behind their back, which has started to annoy the Bergamo leadership.

As if that’s not problematic enough, Napoli have recently joined the race for the Nigerian.

Lookman rejected Partenopei’s approach, but Inter would be naive to take Antonio Conte’s side lightly.
