Nigerian international Ademola Lookman is reportedly set to bid farewell to Atalanta at the end of the current season, marking the end of a successful chapter in Serie A for the dynamic forward.
According to reports from Tuttomercatoweb.com, Lookman has reached a decisive point in his career and informed Atalanta of his intention to move on this summer. The decision, described as a mutual understanding facilitated through a gentleman’s agreement, signals his desire for a new challenge outside of Bergamo.
The 26-year-old has been one of Atalanta’s most consistent and impactful players since joining, becoming a cornerstone of Gian Piero Gasperini’s attacking setup. His blend of pace, technical flair, and eye for goal earned him praise not only from fans and pundits but also statistically.

Lookman’s future destination is still under wraps, but with this level of performance, interest from top European clubs is inevitable. His ability to operate across various attacking roles, coupled with his international pedigree with Nigeria, makes him a prime candidate for a high-profile transfer.
This isn’t the first time Lookman has been close to an Atalanta exit. Last year, he was reportedly on the brink of leaving, but opted to remain and continue developing under Gasperini. Now, with his sights set on a new challenge, the summer transfer window promises to be an eventful one for the former Leicester and RB Leipzig man.
As fans await official confirmation from the club, one thing’s clear: Ademola Lookman’s time in Serie A may be coming to an end, but his star is still very much on the rise.
