Ademola Lookman’s absence from Atalanta’s Serie A opening match against Lecce has sparked intense speculation about his future. The Nigerian forward, who became a club legend after scoring a hat-trick to secure Atalanta’s first-ever European trophy in May, is reportedly the subject of interest from Paris Saint-Germain.
Italian media outlets have reported that Lookman’s representatives have informed Atalanta of PSG’s interest. This news comes amidst a flurry of transfer activity at Atalanta, with midfielder Teun Koopmeiners seeking a move to Juventus. However, Atalanta has yet to agree to terms with Juve, which is undergoing a significant rebuild under new manager Thiago Motta.
Atalanta has also been impacted by the loss of Gianluca Scamacca, who suffered a knee injury earlier this month. To address this, the club signed his Italy teammate Mateo Retegui from Genoa.
While Lookman’s absence from the Lecce match has fuelled transfer rumours, it’s important to note that Atalanta has yet to officially confirm any potential departures. With the transfer window still open, the coming days could see further developments in this ongoing saga.
