\u200bMost footballers are on break at the moment, with the new season over a month away. As such, many Nigerian players have been traveling the world, attending events, and spending time with their families.<\/p>\n

\u200bLookman has been enjoying the break. Last month, he was spotted with Wizkid, and his latest stop was at Afronation in Portugal, where he linked up with Burna Boy following his performance.<\/p>\n

\u200bMost Nigerian footballers and musicians share a good rapport, and as expected, they enjoyed a great moment together.<\/p>\n

\u200bBurna Boy even jokingly complained to Lookman that he was frustrated by the Super Eagles’ absence from the ongoing 2026 FIFA World Cup.<\/p>\n

\u200bBurna Boy has been heavily involved with football lately. He collaborated with Shakira for the 2026 World Cup theme song, \u201cDai Dai,\u201d <\/a>and performed at the opening ceremony. He is also expected to perform at the competition’s closing ceremony.<\/p>\n

\u200bMeanwhile, Lookman will return to Atletico Madrid next week to begin preparing for the new season with Los Colchoneros. <\/p>\n

This will be his first full campaign in Madrid, and he will be looking to improve on last season, where he contributed nine goals and four assists in 24 appearances across all competitions.<\/p>\n

\u200bAtletico Madrid has some interesting pre-season friendlies lined up against Manchester United and Manchester City at the start of August. Lookman will be heavily relied upon in those games, as most of the club’s first-team attackers are still participating in the World Cup and will be granted extended breaks.<\/p>\n

\u200bAtletico Madrid will then kick off their La Liga campaign with a fixture against newly promoted Malaga at the Estadio Metropolitano on August 16.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
