Ademola Lookman

The Super Eagles have thrown their full backing behind Ademola Lookman after he formally requested a transfer away from Atalanta.

Lookman has grown increasingly frustrated with the Serie A side for allegedly obstructing his proposed move to Inter Milan, prompting him to take decisive action.

Inter Milan have had multiple bids rejected by Atalanta, leading them to consider withdrawing from negotiations entirely.

This situation compelled Lookman to issue a public statement on his social media platforms, addressing his treatment by Atalanta.

The current African Footballer of the Year also reaffirmed his ambition to seek a new career opportunity elsewhere.

On their official X account, the Super Eagles shared an image of the 27-year-old with the caption: “We stand with Ademola Lookman. #FreeLookmanNow”
