Ademola Lookman sparks tension with unsanctioned vacation amid Atalanta–Inter transfer standoff

Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman has caused uproar at Atalanta after opting to take an unscheduled holiday, according to Football Italia.

Lookman, who has already skipped several training sessions, reportedly left Italy for an extended summer break without the club’s approval. His actions have been deemed “completely unacceptable” by the Atalanta hierarchy, regardless of any explanations or the outcome of his future.

The Percassi family, owners of Atalanta, are said to be preparing legal measures, including a fine, as tensions rise between the player and the club.

Meanwhile, both Atalanta and Inter continue to wait for the other to make the first move in negotiations, according to the Italian outlet, leaving Lookman’s situation increasingly uncertain.
