Ademola Lookman turnaround: Super Eagles forward set for Atalanta stay

Ademola Lookman is reportedly set to continue at Atalanta after a brief transfer saga.

Super Eagles ace Ademola Lookman could reportedly continue at Atalanta, despite sending in a transfer request and getting the axe from the club. 

Lookman, 26, was one of the stars of the Serie A last season; however, it was his performance in the Europa League, specifically the final, in which he scored a hat-trick, that has put him on the radar of top clubs.

Paris Saint-Germain were one such top club, along with big money spenders from Saudi Arabia. 

Pulse Sports reported that the French champions have already reached an agreement on wages with the Nigerian forward

Following this agreement, Lookman notified La Dea that he would like to leave, much to the chagrin of the club's hierarchy. He was subsequently dropped from the squad in their Serie A opening thumping of Lecce.

However, a new report from Italy today suggests there could be a turnaround in the situation, which could see Lookman continue at Atalanta.

Despite reaching an agreement on personal terms, PSG have yet to table a formal offer to Atalanta for Lookman. They are said to be taking their time and evaluating their market before making a move. 

Italian Publication La Gazzetta Dello Sport reported today that it is increasingly likely the former Everton man will continue at Atalanta, as they believe PSG will not follow through on the deal.
