Super Eagles striker Ademola Lookman was absent from Atalanta's squad for their Serie A opener against Lecce yesterday, fueling speculation about a potential move to Paris Saint-Germain. Lookman, who became a club legend after his hat-trick secured Atalanta's first-ever European trophy in May, was notably missing from the team as they began their league campaign.
Reports suggest that PSG has shown interest in the 26-year-old, with his representatives allegedly informing Atalanta of the French club's pursuit. Lookman, who joined Atalanta from RB Leipzig in 2022, has made a significant impact, scoring 32 goals and providing 18 assists in 79 appearances.
In addition to Lookman, Atalanta is also dealing with transfer activity involving other key players. Serbian midfielder Lazar Samardzic arrived in Bergamo for his medical ahead of a €20 million move from Udinese, while Teun Koopmeiners is rumored to be seeking a transfer to Juventus.
