Lookman wants Inter at all costs and breaks silence: "Treated badly by Atalanta"

The’Atalanta striker Ademola Lookman on Instagram attacked the Bergamo club, reiterating his desire to leave the team: “After three extraordinary years in Bergamo, I think it is time to change and try a new adventure”. The Orobico club turned down a proposal from Inter’Inter, and the Nigerian forward was furious: “The club was clear with me: if a fair offer had come, they would have allowed me to go. Now, although a proposal has been submitted in line with what was discussed, sadly the club is blocking the opportunity for reasons I cannot understand”.

“In the last three years I have given everything, not only as a footballer but also as a person. I have always worn the jersey with pride, trying to represent the club and the city of Bergamo with pride, passion and dedication. I came here with the hope to help this special club and grow together, we created memories that I will carry with me forever. Winning the Europa League, standing shoulder to shoulder with my teammates that night in Dublin celebrating with the fans is one of the moments in my career that makes me most proud. It still gives me goosebumps to think about it”.

“After so many months of broken promises and what I believe has been poor treatment of me as a person and as a professional, I unfortunately see no choice but to take a stand for what I believe is right. I can confirm that I have submitted a transfer request. Even through the difficult times I have gone through, many of which have remained private and confidential, I have always tried to put the club, the fans and the team first and hoped it would not come to this point, but I don” I don”t think there is any other choice.

“To the fans, the beating heart of this club, I want to say: I am really sorry to get to this point. I hope you can understand this very difficult situation. It is simply a matter of taking a stand for what I believe is right for me. The support you have given me has always been extraordinary, and the bond we have created is special. I hope we can work together with the club to find an amicable solution for everyone as soon as possible”.
