Ademola Lookman has said goodbye to Atalanta after he signed for Spanish club Atletico Madrid today.
The Super Eagles star said the Italian team welcomed him warmly and pushed him to be “the best version of myself”.
He also highlighted the Europa League conquest in 2023, the first major trophy of Atalanta in 61 years and scoring a hat-trick on “a night none of us will ever forget” as well as being crowned African Player of the Year in 2024 as an Atalanta player.
He reserved special praise for the Atalanta fans.
“To the fans, your passion, your belief, your energy meant everything,” he commended.
“From day one, you stood by me and by this team through every moment. Your passion, your voices, your belief never faded and together we achieved.
“Every cheer, every banner, every away trip meant something. Thank you for making Bergamo feel like home and for giving me memories I’ll carry forever.”
