Atalanta Says Lookman’s Future Will Be Decided After The Transfer Window Closes
Atalanta director Tony D’Amico has revealed that a final decision on Ademola Lookman’s future will only be taken at the close of the summer transfer window.
The Nigerian forward recently returned to the club’s training camp for pre-season after a turbulent few weeks. Earlier this month, Lookman handed in a transfer request and even skipped training sessions as he pushed for a move to Inter Milan.
Inter were keen on signing him but later pulled out of negotiations after refusing to match Atalanta’s €50 million asking price. The 27-year-old now faces possible disciplinary action from his club for his conduct.
Speaking on the issue, D’Amico admitted the situation has left the club disappointed but stressed that a clearer picture will emerge once the window closes. “We are sorry for everyone, but right now this is the situation. We’ll make assessments at the end of the transfer window. As of today, there’s disappointment,” he said.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
