Ademola Lookman shows no signs of returning to Atalanta in the near future, but Inter’s decision on whether or not to increase their recently-rejected €45m bid for the Nigeria international depends on La Dea’s asking price, Wednesday’s reports detail.
Lookman is currently refusing to train with Atalanta after seeing a €45m bid from Inter turned down last week.
The 27-year-old has handed in a transfer request, and has recently released a long statement claiming that he had an agreement that Atalanta would let him leave if an appropriate offer came in for him this summer.
According to Wednesday’s updates, it remains to be seen whether Inter will return with a new and improved offer for the reigning African Player of the Year.
As per Corriere dello Sport, Inter are waiting to hear back from Atalanta regarding a specific price tag for teams within Serie A, given their reluctance to sell to a direct competitor in the same league.
