Ademola Lookman has returned to training with Atalanta, bringing an end to a period of restlessness surrounding his future.
The Super Eagles forward, who was notably absent from Atalanta’s Serie A opener against Lecce, had been linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), sparking speculation that he might leave the UEFA Europa League champions.

Lookman’s brief absence from the team fueled rumors that he was angling for a transfer to the French giants.
Reports suggested that the prospect of joining PSG had drawn the 26-year-old’s attention, leading to his missed appearance in Atalanta’s first league match of the season. However, it has since emerged that PSG’s interest in Lookman was not as concrete as initially believed.
After taking some time to recover from the situation, Lookman has rejoined his teammates in training, a development that is likely to calm the nerves of both the club’s management and its fans. Lookman’s representative reportedly met with Atalanta officials to address the issues, resulting in the forward’s decision to reintegrate into the squad.
With Lookman back in the fold, Atalanta can focus on their upcoming Serie A match against Torino.
His return is a positive sign for the club, which will be looking to build momentum in the early stages of the season.
As Lookman resumes his place in the team, fans will be eager to see if the club will offer him a new contract, potentially with an increased salary, to ensure his long-term stay.
For now, Lookman’s return to training offers a sense of stability as Atalanta continues to navigate the challenges of the Serie A season. “I’m ready to give my all for Atalanta,” Lookman was quoted as saying, signaling his commitment to the club’s immediate future.
