Ademola Lookman Hands in Transfer Request as Galatasaray Circles for Signature
Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman has officially submitted a transfer request to leave the Serie A club, citing “broken promises” and feeling “poorly treated as both a human being and a professional footballer,” according to verified reports from ESPN and The Guardian.
The Nigerian international, who played a pivotal role in Atalanta’s Europa League triumph last season, is now seeking an exit ahead of the upcoming transfer window. Atalanta’s CEO confirmed that there was a prior “pact” with the Super Eagles star, one that allows him to leave, but only for a “super top club” outside Italy.
Meanwhile, Turkish champions Galatasaray are reported to be monitoring the situation closely and have “re-established contact” with Lookman’s representatives in anticipation of a possible January move. Sources suggest that the Istanbul giants are eager to strengthen their attack and view Lookman as a marquee signing who could link up with fellow Nigerian star Victor Osimhen if their long term plans materialize.
While Galatasaray’s interest is genuine, no formal bid has yet been made, and negotiations remain at an exploratory stage. However, given Lookman’s current stance and Atalanta’s openness to sell under the right terms, the situation could develop rapidly in the coming weeks.
For now, the 27 year old forward’s future in Bergamo hangs in the balance but one thing is certain: Ademola Lookman’s time at Atalanta may be approaching its final chapter.
