What will happen to Ademola Lookman, the striker wanted by Inter, blocked by Atalanta?

This summer "blockade" is the main event of the transfer market, with a hidden danger involving the player, the clubs and Napoli, which is following it closely.

Atalanta does not want to sell its valuable and problematic striker to a direct competitor like Inter, so it does not want to talk about the price.

On the other hand, Inter are determined not to make any additional offers until Atalanta and Lookman resolve the situation themselves. A new offer will only come if there is a real price to negotiate, within the budget of the black and blue club, which is around 45 million euros, plus 5 million in bonuses. Atalanta wants to get most of the money from outside Italy.

The English market is being monitored and there is interest, but no official offer has come to Bergamo. Lookman, who was born and played in England, does not want to return there, he has given his word to Inter, with whom he has a 5-year contract with a salary of 4.5 million euros net per season.

This desire of the player to go to Milan is the main force in the strategy of Inter. In Bergamo they are not satisfied, they even feel deeply angry about the "madness" of the player, who has fled without permission to Portugal. They expect to impose fines, but Lookman does not want to return to coach Juric and his teammates. However, it is not known whether this will change Atalanta's strong stance, especially after other experiences with players who have tried to leave.

Meanwhile, Inter are calm and in no hurry, also assured by the performance of Chivu's new attack, with the talents Pio Esposito and Bonny next to the veterans "ThuLa". Lookman is considered an unexpected and good opportunity, but not essential, so Inter will not wait indefinitely.

There will be developments in the coming week, but not necessarily decisive ones. Inter are thinking about reinforcements in midfield and other positions, knowing that good alternatives may emerge.

Napoli have contacted Lookman and see him as a potential successor to Kvara, but have backed out, understanding the strength of the deal between him and Inter. If the situation is not resolved quickly, De Laurentiis could intervene again with a stronger offer to convince Atalanta to give up the striker.

For now, Lookman seems to be staying only between Inter's colors (black and blue), but transfer market developments often reserve surprises at the end.
