Transfer: I Won’t Play For You Anymore – Ademola Lookman Dares Atalanta by robosky02(op): 5:55pm On Aug 15, 2025
Atalanta winger, Ademola Lookman, has effectively gone on strike at the Serie A.


Lookman has reportedly informed La Dea that he will not play for them again.

This comes amid revelations that Inter Milan has set to make a third bid for the Super Eagles star.

Inter have already seen two offers rejected by Atalanta, but they are willing to get close to the asking price.

Nigerian broadcast journalist, Onyebuchi Onokala, also known as Buchi Laba, wrote on X: “100% Confirmed: Inter Milan will make another Offer for Ademola Lookman.

“This 3rd offer will be close to what Atalanta wants.

“Lookman has made it very clear to Atalanta he won’t play for the club anymore. He wants Inter but Atalanta wants to sell him to clubs outside Italy.”

That's the African spirit in him speaking......

No be by force say person must play for una na angry

Those oyinbos, especially Italians must learn how to treat our athletes well,if not, they'll continue to be dragged like this from time to time....

Honestly the racism and direspect level with Italian clubs is crazy

First it's Osimhen and now Ademola


If a player have served you and now wish to move his career and dreams to another level why block him?


And you want him to be professional and come to pre season training

Why is it that when most African players are going through their transfer why are they always having issues? Are they slaving them. undecided

What's up with the idea of not selling a player to a club in same league...? shocked huh

We sometimes blame osimeh for arrogance... claiming that's the reason why his career is where it is.

But Napoli played a huge part at that. Atlanta is doing same now!

If only sub Saharan Africa and Nigeria can improve and upgrade our soccer leagues so our players can live and earn well in their home countries rather than be berated and belittled in Europe. Look at the North African people and their leagues or even South Africa.

What's with this widespread ugly trend of players under contract suddenly downing tools and forcing moves out of their clubs?!!

Lookman
Isak
Gyokeres
Etc.

I wish inter could just meet up with Atalanta's demand. After all he accomplished with the team. First, it was Osimhen and Napoli, a season after winning the Serie A, and now Lookman, after winning Europa. I wish he comes out of this victorious

Italian clubs should stop treating Nigerian players bad.

Too many incidents

it still down to respecting your contracts or trigger your release clause, that's where the problem comes in, he signed for it and once the contract expire, he can go or trigger the release clause if things goes otherwise, clubs cannot be trusted, likewise players, when those guys are signing those contracts , they aren't expecting themselves to be better or thinking better offer can still fall in.. it's like a marriage, na person wey dey inside know Wetin Dem dey see., both parties should resolve matters , media are not helping too

Did you need to reply those guys that are commenting base on emotions and pure sentiments? They are blaming the clubs but refusing to blame the player that deliberately signed such contracts.
Clubs managements that are spending billions of dollars to make their clubs going forward, won't they protect their interests as well? Which club that doesn't want to win trophy? If you continue selling your biggest assets, how will you win? Not even to the rivals!

Is his contract over? If his contract is not over yet, the final decision rest with the team not the player

He's making a mistake by rebelling against the club the same mistake Isak is making. The mistake that sent Osimhen to Turkey league.
Re: Transfer: I Won’t Play For You Anymore – Ademola Lookman Dares Atalanta by GanagiBitrus:
Lookman: I won't play for Atalanta anymore.

Atalanta: You are not leaving us, especially to a rival Italian club.

It is never easy for a player to force a transfer, when his contract has not ended.
Especially to a rival club.

Dont Mind Nigerians
Many people use sentiments instead of keeping to contract's and agreements that were agreed before hand

Next thing, una go wan claim racism...abi na only Nigerians be the black players or African players in Italy.... if pogba were Nigerian, after being banned for using banned substance , una go claim say na racism and Italians hate blacks ...abi no be same Italy players like taribo , Kanu nwankwo and obafemi Martins play?? No be same Italy chukwueze play without issues and he was sold to another club ... lookman and oshimhen are trouble makers...and stubborn....they feel like those clubs owe them, like say they are the first to have achieved success in Italy ..lookman wey be say he failed in England and Atalanta decided to take a risk in investing in him...maybe if not for Atalanta, he would have gone into oblivion like Genga Aluko ... dem talk say dem go sell u for 50m.. u no gree. Abi u wan make dem loose money ?? No b say dem no gree sell u ooo

A contract is a contract.

You can’t force the club to sell you to Inter if they don’t want to. Unless your contract is expired.

With this behavior, Inter may just decide not to sign you anymore, because you may treat them the same way when you want to leave.

Diswan is just playing with fire.....i hope he's got good advisers and managers...those white folks take contract terms seriously...fifa and Europa axe is just hovering over his head with this his ill-advised posturing.

Players are going crazy these days. Isak said same thing to Newcastle. It's high time they started arresting these pompous kids for fraud. You signed a contract, honour the terms, refund every money you've been paid or go to jail
