Serie A: Atalanta toPunish Lookman For Going AWOL

Ademola Lookman faces disciplinary action from Atalanta after going absent without leave (AWOL) this week amid a push to join Inter Milan. The Nigeria international reportedly skipped several training sessions before leaving Italy, as he attempts to force a summer transfer.

According to Football Italia, Atalanta have prepared legal measures, including a hefty fine, in response to the winger’s actions, which the club has deemed completely unacceptable. Inter Milan are expected to submit an improved offer for Lookman after their initial bid was rejected last week.

Lookman, a key player for Atalanta last season, has been heavily linked with a move away from the Bergamo outfit, with interest from other top European clubs also reported. His standoff with the club comes at a crucial point in the transfer window, leaving his future uncertain.
