Atalanta have promised to do ‘all they can’ to retain the services of Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman for next season.
However, the Serie A title contenders insist Lookman ‘must not stay against his will’ as the club ‘already replaced Zapata, Muriel and Gomez…’
The Nigeria international has registered 14 goals and seven assists in 26 appearances across all competitions this season, but was linked with a summer move to PSG, before he eventually remained in Bergamo, where his contract expires in June 2026.
Corriere della Sera asked Atalanta President Antonio Percassi and his son, the club CEO Luca, whether they would keep the 27-year-old African Player of the Year at the club beyond the summer.
“We’ll do all we can, but he must not stay against his will,” they replied.
“After all, we have already replaced Zapata, Muriel and Gomez.”
The pair revealed they would make just one signing this month.
“Perhaps a striker, as Gasperini wants, but it must be worth it.”
Lookman has been linked with several clubs in recent months, including PSG, Arsenal and Manchester United.
