Lookman was notably absent from Atalantaās season opener against Lecce last week. Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini opted to leave him out amid the swirling transfer rumours.
Despite the ongoing uncertainty surrounding his future, Lookman is now poised to rejoin the squad for their next fixture, offering Atalanta fans a glimmer of hope.
Recent reports suggested that Lookman had reached personal terms with French giants Paris Saint-Germain. The Ligue 1 champions have shown a keen interest in the winger, seeing him as a valuable addition to their squad, especially since losing Portuguese striker GonƧalo Ramos to injury on matchday 1.
However, Atalantaās management remains firm in their stance, rejecting a ā¬30 million offer from PSG as inadequate for the Nigerian international.
The Bergamo-based club is well aware of Lookmanās value, given his strong performances last season. Itās rumored that PSG is preparing a revised bid, one that could potentially satisfy Atalanta’s demands.
As the transfer window remains open, Lookmanās future hangs in the balance, with both clubs looking to finalize a deal that could see him swap Serie A for Ligue 1.
Lookmanās return to training signals his readiness to contribute to Atalanta’s campaign, regardless of the transfer saga. As negotiations continue, his presence in the team could be pivotal in the upcoming matches.
Meanwhile, Atalanta fans remain hopeful that the talented winger will stay and continue his journey with the club, at least for the time being.
