Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman is expected to leave Atalanta this summer according to latest reports.

More than a week after the penalty incident involving Ademola Lookman, rumours of an exit continue to swirl.

The Nigerian forward, who has been Atalanta's standout performer over the past two seasons, will certainly be one of the hottest properties in Europe when the transfer window opens in June.

Lookman's contract expires in the summer of 2026, and clubs are reportedly circling to snap up the CAF Player of the Year.

According to Corriere dello Sport, Lookman will surely leave Atalanta this summer, not just because of the public rift with head coach Gian Piero Gasperini, but because that was always the plan.

The report also claims Lookman is aware that this is his last season in Bergamo, with PSG, Juventus, Manchester United, Liverpool, and Newcastle waiting on developments.

Journalist Patrick Iannarelli wrote; "Lookman knows his future is away from Bergamo,"

There is no doubt that the 27-year-old will be an incredible signing for whichever team he joins, as his ability to score and create at a high level remains a vital asset.

Lookman joined Atalanta in a €9m deal from RB Leipzig in 2022. He has 17 goals and seven assists in 29 appearances across all competitions this term.
