Ademola Lookman Moves for Change: Transfer Request Filed Amidst Controversy

Ademola Lookman, a Nigerian international footballer, announced he filed a formal transfer request to leave Atalanta, where he claims to have encountered poor treatment. The forward, who scored 15 goals in Serie A last season, is reportedly linked with a potential move to Inter Milan.

Lookman, who joined Atalanta in 2022, shared via social media his frustration with the club's management. He expressed disappointment over the blocked transfer despite prior agreements. Lookman noted months of 'broken promises' and highlighted disrespectful comments from former coach Gian Piero Gasperini as contributing factors.

Atalanta has not commented on Lookman's claims. The club, which finished third last season, prepares to face Pisa in their opening Serie A match amid ongoing speculation about Lookman's future.
