Ademola Lookman Set To Leave Atalanta This Summer
Ademola Lookman is on his way out of Atalanta this summer, as confirmed by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
Romano revealed that the move had been in the works since last year, stating on X that Atalanta still intends to part ways with the Super Eagles winger.
The club is expected to address the situation with head coach Gian Piero Gasperini soon, but their decision remains unchanged.
Lookman’s future has been a hot topic following Atalanta’s Champions League exit at the hands of Club Brugge.
The Italian side suffered a 3-1 defeat on Tuesday night, losing 5-2 on aggregate. The Nigerian forward found the back of the net for Atalanta but also missed a crucial penalty.
After the match, Gasperini openly criticized Lookman for taking the spot-kick, adding fuel to the speculation surrounding his departure.
Despite this, Lookman has been in fine form this season, racking up 15 goals and six assists in 28 appearances.
Former footballer Thierry Henry has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s match following their loss to Atlético Madrid on October 13.
Speaking during a brief interview on CBS Sports, Henry criticised the practice of players or coaches expressing certain opinions through the media instead of addressing issues directly within the dressing room.
“I’m not a coach anymore, but I always say, whoever speaks like that, out. Keep that in the dressing room, it’s as simple as that,” Henry said on CBS Sports.
“That is the only way it can work. You have to say those things to a person’s face… going through the press, I am not really a fan of that.”
Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has shared his thoughts on the 2026 Ballon d’Or award, revealing that he hopes the winner will come from his team.
The manager spoke about how hard his players have worked and expressed his belief that they deserve the recognition.
“What I hope is that we win this trophy. We have players who deserve it.”
“Last year, we were the best team. We showed that it wasn’t just Ousmane Dembélé who deserved it.”
French football pundit Walid Acherchour has named Lamine Yamal as his pick to win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, sparking reactions among football fans.
Acherchour’s choice came as a surprise to some fans, who expected him to support fellow Frenchman Kylian Mbappé instead.
Speaking about his prediction, Acherchour expressed confidence in Yamal’s chances of winning the prestigious individual award.
“For me, Lamine Yamal, he is going to get it [2026 Ballon d’Or]. For me, there’s no doubt anymore,” Acherchour said, as quoted by Actu Foot. That start to the season shows that in fact, he was injured during the World Cup. He was the best player in La Liga, and he won the World Cup.
“Even if, for me, in fact, he doesn’t have the Ballon d’Or unanimously because his World Cup was average, even being average, he won it with Spain. He won La Liga with Barça.”
