As Matchday 2 of the Italian Serie A approaches, Nigeria’s Super Eagles winger Ademola Lookman has rejoined training with Atalanta.

The 26-year-old forward had been training separately, fueling speculation about a potential transfer.

However, he made a return to full team training on Thursday, raising hopes of a weekend appearance against Torino.

Lookman was notably absent from Atalanta’s 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 Gonçalo Ramos to injury on matchday 1.

However, Atalanta’s management remains firm in their stance, rejecting a €30 million offer from PSG as inadequate for the Nigerian international.

The Bergamo-based club is well aware of Lookman’s value, given his strong performances last season. It’s rumored that PSG is preparing a revised bid, one that could potentially satisfy Atalanta’s demands.

As the transfer window remains open, Lookman’s future hangs in the balance, with both clubs looking to finalize a deal that could see him swap Serie A for Ligue 1.

Lookman’s 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.
