“Ademola Lookman is Not for Sale, I Want Him To Stay” – Atalanta says
Ivan Juric, Atalanta’s newly appointed manager, has made it clear he wants Ademola Lookman to remain at the club despite growing transfer rumors. The Nigerian winger has attracted interest from top Serie A sides like Napoli and Juventus, as well as Premier League club Arsenal, following his impressive 22-goal campaign last season.
Juric, who previously coached at Torino and Hellas Verona, emphasized his desire to retain Lookman and midfielder Ederson, though he acknowledged that the club’s transfer strategy will ultimately decide their futures. “Ideally, we keep both Lookman and Ederson, but the club has its own plans in the market,” Juric told reporters. “I haven’t made any specific requests—I’m working with the players I have.”
Lookman has just one year left on his contract, adding urgency to Atalanta’s decision. After a breakout season with 22 goals and five assists, his future remains one of the summer’s biggest talking points in Italian football.
