Atalanta have continued to pile the pressure on want-away star Ademola Lookman.
Coach Ivan Juric said he will not beg the Super Eagles forward to play and now Atalanta CEO said Ademola Lookman has to be 100% committed to the Italian club.
“We know how important Lookman is to Atalanta, but the club has some very basic principles,” Atalanta CEO Luca Percassi told DAZN
“It’s about players having to be ready to give 100 percent for this shirt and be completely focused on our task, because all matches are difficult.”
Ademola Lookman was not listed by Atalanta for today’s Serie A match against Lecce despite playing the Super Eagles 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and South Africa this past week.
The player, whose contract with Atalanta is until June 2027, made it clear during the summer transfer window that he wishes to quit the Italian club and this led to a long-drawn transfer saga.
