Inter Milan have spoken for the first time on why they pulled out of their bid to sign Ademola Lookman
Inter had agreed a five-year contract with Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman, but after their second offer for the player was rejected they sensationally pulled the plug on the transfer.
Inter sports director Giuseppe Marotta said Atalanta have the right to hold on to their star player and they as a club also changed their transfer strategies.
“There was talk of Lookman, but we found a club that had every right not to put him on the market, and rightly so,” he told TMW
“So we focused on a new model and brought in five young players, including one like Esposito from the youth academy.
“Their average age is 21, and we’re building a squad according to the guidelines of the club.”
