Ademola Lookman Expresses Frustration over Atalanta's Block on his Transfer


NB:

For those who constantly tied Osimhen's transfer struggles to attitude, I hope you now see how ridiculous your stance were. Victor didn't even do a public post as frustrating and inciting as the process were. And if you don't still think your stance is ridiculous, at least be consistent and hold Lookman to the same standard.

https://x.com/Alookman_/status/1951969478960664852?t=NPN1_LcmTircQ7T2VItFtg&s=19[/quote]Don’t stress yourself bro, the folks you’re talking about are just haters masquerading as being objective cos their minds are made up. We were all here when Napoli frustrated osihmen move to PSG.

I pray Lookman comes through out of this. Italy has always been a great ground for our players but it’s beginning to look like a gang up against our football. Our APOTYs back to back can’t be deserving of this sheer wickedness!

charlesemeka85:
that excuse of him being abusive because of his issue with Finidi na nonsense

The major reason no big club from Europe’s top 5 leagues didn’t take Osimhen was his wage demand. If Osimhen wages were between 180k-200k one of the top teams would have signed him easily

With the financial terms and clause Napoli had in the contract of sale to Gala no right thinking club in europe top 5 leagues will agree to that

This would have been avoided if Osimhen didn’t renew his contract with Napoli

QueenJazz:
According to what I usually read on the Premier League subreddit, most of these teams from the top 5 leagues are only willing to break the bank for players who are much younger 9 out of 10 times, because it means they will maximize their potential to the fullest and they will have very high resale value. I'm assuming they see players like Lookman and Osimhen as having shorter stints of being in their peak, since he'll be 30 in 2-3 years. Another thing is injury history (for Osimhen). So that probably explains their conservative bids. Only exception is if the player can fit into the tactical demands of a team in a short term.

I don't completely agree with this sentiment, but given the nuance of transfer deals and the fact that there's a lot that goes on behind the scenes, I think it's the strongest argument I've seen so far if you want to play devil's advocate.

And some praise singers here don't think prospective clubs and coaches do ask for this ex coaches recommendations and suggestions prior signing players.

QueenJazz:
True. Although I strongly believe Morocco will get knocked out somehow before the finals.

I cannot fathom her motives but she will retire (or be retired, more likely) from politics soon enough and we'll see what she does next.

I'm pretty sure she'll carry on with her anti-Nigerian schtick because honestly what else is she known for other than being a culture warrior?

Goodenoch:
Everybody will see it eventually.

Remember, in the early days when she was running for office she appealed specifically to Nigerians to “support a Nigerian who is trying to improve our national image”. Now she says even when she was in Nigeria (allegedly before she knew she was entitled to UK citizenship), she "never really felt at home there"

I can't remember who the person was that was going to make Kemi their daugher's role model but I really with them luck with explaining who and what Kemi is in the first instance.

Let's continue watching sha. I know this chapter of Olukemi Olufunto badenough (née Adegoke), Defender of Western Civilisation, and her war on Nigeria, will come to an end one day, one way or another.

Mujtahida:
Well, I think as they continue to host they'd learn to be more accommodating. In the meantime CAF needs to set a hard line on the laser thing. It's unacceptable

Mujtahida:
No where in my posts did I say it should be handed to them. Appearing in Two finals is no mean feat. I only expressed my desire that I'd be happy if they win. And God willing they will.

opes:
What I don't like in all of this is the phrase 'Hausa League"

BankyGee:
Since joining Atalanta in 2022, only one Serie A player has more G/A than Ademola Lookman.

Top tier 🎯🇳🇬

BankyGee:
From condemning one vawulence to unleashing another one.

Lookman na my favourite player too, and right now, what Osimhen did/is doing will make much sense to some of you soon. Know your worth.

Thank God Osimhen did not set a bad precedent. How will you look at a player of Lookman's caliber and offer him €4M? Is that not stupeedeety? In a market where Marmoush that has not achieved anything is earning €15M? The proposed salary no even reach tithe for Marmoush money.

Marmoush doesn't have one single trophy, Lookman pushed his team to win the Europa League and he's being offered this trash. He currently earns €2M per year/€44k per week and his entire career earning is €19M, has he not worked hard enough to earn at least €120k per week?

When person dey talk say dem dey ridicule Nigerian players una say na "yes men", he should cut down from hard earned €240k+ to €90k+ to play in the Premier League.

It's Lookman's choice sha, the main thing na say he pass that trash wey Inter Milan dey offer by far and he'll perform like hell for them. They should do better, if Lookman is white, they won't offer this shrine money.

lbrichman2:
They have sent a very clear message
Referees will favour their teams henceforth..

lbrichman2:
The guys have CAF by their balls..
Which yeye officiating are they talking about?

PrettyPacy:
Good evening everyone
If anyone have information on how one can get into business analyst intern, volunteering roles and entry level please help with info. A friend came into UK as a junior business analyst gone through some trainings here and completed BCS certification and have been applying, however no job yet. Please please please . Thank you all

comodo:
The simple reason is because he surrounded himself with "serious men" He should try "O yes men"

lovewins:
Lookman snub in my opinion is as concerning if not more than Osimhen's. Why is a player who had a background in English football, without known behavioural issues, coming off the best 2 seasons of his career and arguably top 5 in the world at his position and one of the cheapest in the market both by valuation and renumeration still on the market?

What's more annoying is his proposed salary earnings should Inter sign him. How should the African player of the year coming of 2 great seasons be prized at €4M a year and he's still on the market?

dustydee:
Madam Kemi. Hopefully she will leave us alone.

TheLoneCitizen:
Remember that is 21m guaranteed. After tax.

That's Saudi money right there.

He's earning Saudi millions while playing in UCL.

After this, straight to Europe giants.

comodo:
If this is what they call playing in Hausa league. Abeg may this type of Hausa league also locate my son.
What does it profit a man to play in premier League on peanuts just to make name and end up with an injury that will retire him prematurely.

villagereporter:
The grace upon Osimhen is indestructible and indescribable. May such grace locate my kid bro at Remo stars feeders' team. Amen.

BankyGee:
Napoli thanks Victor Osimhen in a farewell video...

Sugarboyy:
Sometimes I ask myself if these clubs are not using some of these transfers as money laundering. I can't imagine Ekitike costing more than 40m and Wirtz costing above 70m

fergie001:
....because his father wants to be Vice

This game is familiar

lbrichman2:
You don start 😂😂

lbrichman2:
Lookman deserves more than 40M
Wetin Ekitike dey play wey Dem buy am for 80M?
