Through his Instagram account, Ademola Lookman has given another twist to his already complicated situation at Atalanta. One that, probably, will have no turning back.
The player has announced that he has submitted an "official transfer request". The Atalanta star wants to join Inter Milan and is pushing with all his might.
Lookman's statement
"Over the past three years at Atalanta, I have given absolutely everything. Not just as a footballer, but as a person. I have always worn this shirt with pride and tried to represent this club and the city of Bergamo with heart, passion and dedication.
I came here with the hope of helping this special club grow and, together, we have created memories that will stay with me forever. Winning the Europa League and being shoulder to shoulder with my teammates that night in Dublin, celebrating with our fans, was one of the proudest moments of my career so far. It still gives me goosebumps thinking about it.
Atalanta, and especially its fans, have become a part of me. This place has felt like home since the moment I arrived, and I have always tried to return that love, even in times when things haven't been easy behind closed doors.
That's what makes writing this so difficult. I have enjoyed every moment, but I feel that now, after three wonderful years in Bergamo, it's the right time to move on and live a new adventure. There have been numerous clubs that have approached Atalanta in the past and I have always remained loyal. However, both I and the club's management agreed that now is the right time and the club was clear with me that if a fair offer came, they would let me go.
Despite having received an offer now that is in line with what I believe was discussed, unfortunately, the club is blocking the opportunity for reasons I don't understand.
As a result, and after many months of unfulfilled promises and what I consider unfair treatment towards me, both as a human being and a professional footballer, I unfortunately feel that I have no other option but to speak out for what I believe is fair and I feel that enough is enough. I can confirm that I have submitted a formal transfer request."
