In the ever-volatile world of football transfers, recent comments by prominent Italian politician and former journalist Vittorio Feltri have sparked concerns among Atalanta fans regarding the future of their standout player, Ademola Lookman.
Feltri, who has a reputation for his candid opinions, admitted that Europa League holders Atalanta could part ways with Lookman if an irresistible offer lands on their table.

Atalanta’s management, led by President Antonio Percassi, is known for its shrewd business acumen and sustainable growth strategy, often relying on the sale of key players to maintain financial stability.
While Lookman’s performances have been vital to the team’s success, the potential for a lucrative deal may prove too tempting to ignore.
In recent weeks, Paris Saint-Germain, reeling from an ankle injury to their striker Goncalo Ramos, explored the possibility of bringing Lookman to France.
However, PSG manager Luis Enrique decided against pursuing a replacement forward, leaving Lookman’s future in limbo.
Despite this, the uncertainty surrounding his fitness ahead of Atalanta’s upcoming match against Inter Milan has only fueled speculation. Currently training away from the main squad, Lookman’s availability remains doubtful.
Feltri’s concerns underscore a broader anxiety among fans and football analysts alike. He remarked, “A phenomenon.
Now I fear that they will take him away from us because if a big offer arrives Atalanta will sell. This is also why the club has its accounts in order. I know President Percassi; he is a very shrewd businessman. I don’t think he will invest to aim for the Scudetto.”
As the transfer window edges closer to closing, all eyes will be on Atalanta’s next move. Whether they choose to cash in on Lookman or retain him for the season ahead will reveal much about the club’s ambitions and approach to navigating the challenging dynamics of the football market.
