Ademola Lookman Excluded from Atalanta Squad

Ademola Lookman has been excluded from Atalanta's squad for their Serie A opener against Lecce amidst growing speculation of a transfer to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). Following his impressive hat-trick in the UEFA Europa League final, Lookman has attracted significant interest from top clubs, particularly PSG, who reportedly approached his representatives regarding a contract worth €4.5 million annually. Despite this interest, there has been no formal bid from PSG to Atalanta yet, and the club is preparing for a busy transfer window. Lookman’s decision to miss the match has fueled rumors of his desire to join PSG, as he aims for a substantial salary increase. Atalanta has seen other changes as they navigate the transfer market, including the arrival of new players and the absence of key figures due to injuries. His potential move comes as the club grapples with maintaining their competitive edge in Serie A after losing significant players.
