Report – Nigeria Talisman Turns Down Atalanta Contract Offer As He Tries To Force Inter Milan Transfer | OneFootball

Sought-after Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman is reportedly hellbent on forcing his transfer to Inter Milan.

According to Sky Sport via FCInter1908, La Dea’s final effort to keep the 27-year-old failed to come to fruition.

Faced with the imminent loss of their standout performer, Atalanta made a last-ditch attempt to rescue the situation.

Indeed, they decided to match Inter’s contract offer, hoping it would change the 27-year-old’s mind.

However, Ademola Lookman has set his heart on joining Inter.

With Lookman turning down their contract proposal, Atalanta find themselves backed into a corner.

Indeed, Ivan Juric’s men have their options limited amid Inter’s determined approach.

Despite failing to sign the Nigerian with a €40 million bid, the transfer has now become a near-certainty.

Though Inter would likely have to increase their offer, Lookman’s move feels like a matter of time.
