Inter Milan sporting director Giuseppe Marotta has discussed the club’s aborted move for Ademola Lookman, reports Completesports.com.
The Nerrazzuri pushed to sign the Nigeria international from Serie A rivals Inter Milan earlier this month.
Inter agreed a five-year contract with Lookman.
The former Serie A champions were however unable to meet Atalanta’s valuation.

Marotta declared that Atalanta have the right to hold on to their star player and they as a club also changed their transfer strategies.
“There was talk of Lookman, but we found a club that had every right not to put him on the market, and rightly so,” he told TMW.
“So we focused on a new model and brought in five young players, including one like Esposito from the youth academy.
“Their average age is 21, and we’re building a squad according to the guidelines of the club.”

In summary, you decided to side with your fellow Italian club and president (probably after discussing on the phone not to betray the Italian brotherhood over a “foreigner”). You left a player you had approached and shown intent to join, out in the cold, rather than add a paltry $5 to complete the move.
You didn’t know clubs like to hold on to their key players before you approached and made your offer public?
Betrayers. Italian clubs, all of you. Mafias. Bashiru and other Nigerians currently playing in that league should start taking lessons now.
This is true. Italian league is a league of mafioso.
According to one monkey banana, it must be because Lookman offended Finidi George. Everybody should please help Lookman beg Finidi o.
Hahahaha……in future the illiterate street dog will claim Inter Milan never wanted Lookman…..LMAOoo
Let’s pray for these players. We don’t need quack pastors to pray, we need good pastors who are not identity stealing hypocrites.
Guy stay away from User name.. @kel pls note this is not the original four four two u all know about.
This is not true – you are a POS lmaaoo
@Kel if inter had lost their first game against Torino, trust me he would be running to the bank. Our players should shun them and not take any further nonsense. See Man U crying over Sesko now. They will leave our quality strikers and be buying weirdos then end up crying at the end of the day. God no dey sleep a whole Caf player of the year na him them dey use gba star like this!
