Super Eagles<\/a> and Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman can still exit the Bergamo Stadium before the transfer window slams shut on September 1, Soccernet.ng reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 27-year-old has made it clear he no longer wants to play<\/a> for La Dea<\/em>, but the club have declined the attacker’s wish to leave in the same vein.<\/p>\n

Inter Milan submitted three offers<\/a> for the 2024 CAF Player of the Year, but Ivan Juric’s side are maintaining their stance about not letting Lookman join another Italian club.<\/p>\n

Lookman<\/a> has been left out to train alone, but all hope is not lost, and the former RB Leipzig man can still get a move this summer.<\/p>\n

As per Caught Offside<\/a><\/strong>, Lookman’s situation in Bergamo has sparked interest from the English Premier League. Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal recently signed Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace<\/a>, and are still monitoring Lookman’s situation.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Chelsea are keeping the Super Eagles star as an option if they fail to secure a move for either Alejandro Garnacho or Leipzig midfielder, Xavi Simons.<\/p>\n

Thomas Frank’s Tottenham Hotspur are also interested in the Nigerian<\/a> forward as their left flank options are literally non-existent.<\/p>\n

Aston Villa might consider a loan move due to their financial problems. While Roma also have Lookman on their radar, Atalanta will not sell to another Italian club, and a pursuit is unlikely as well, given the forward’s history with Gian Piero Gasperini.<\/p>\n

Atletico Madrid and Napoli<\/a> have both made contact, but neither club has yet met Atalanta\u2019s demands.<\/p>\n

While the former Fulham man has a plethora of clubs on his radar, he has to make a decision quickly, or else he risks staying another year in Bergamo.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
