(ANSA) – ROME, SEP 18 – Ademola Lookman rejoined the Atalanta squad Thursday after the 27-year-old Nigeria striker spoke to coach Ivan Juric and ironed out their differences following his exclusion after demanding a move to Inter Milan.
Lookman’s situation has come to a happy end and he will most likely be called up for Atalanta’s match against Torino this weekend after he returned to training. Lookman, who has 29 Nigeria caps and eight goals for his country and has scored 39 goals in 93 matches for La Dea since arriving pm loan from Leicester City in 2022, spent the day talking with Juric and the rest of the team after the resounding defeat 4-0 against PSG in the Champions League.
After Juric’s comments before the match against Lecce, it seemed difficult to mend a damaged relationship.
“I don’t have to beg anyone,” he said, referring to Lookman.
Today, the two met face to face. The player opened up, explaining his difficulties, and Juric reminded him of the importance of values ;;and the shirt.
He also met with his teammates after months of coldness from Lookman, who wanted to join Inter at all costs and who – on social media – had ‘abandoned’ the Atalanta shirt, making every trace of his team disappear. (ANSA).
