Super Eagles winger Ademola Lookman was left behind as Atalanta was held 1-1 by newly promoted Pisa in Sunday’s Serie A game.
The omission comes after weeks of transfer drama, failed negotiations, and a growing rift between player and club.
However, it was the visitor that took the lead in the 26th minute through Isak Hien to silence the home supporters.

Pisa nearly doubled their lead moments later when Marco Carnesecchi flew to palm a Moreo header out from under the crossbar on Angori’s cross.
Atalanta leveled parity in the 50th minute thanks to a brilliant goal from Gianluca Scamacca. It was his first Serie A goal in over a year.
All efforts for both teams to score the winning goal proved abortive as Atalanta shared the spoils with Pisa.

This is just grand betrayal by Inter. After leading a player on and watching him fight to be with you, you left him high and dry midway to his former suitors, rather than add the extra $5m to complete the deal??? Wicked!
Just watch how Liverpool will stay by Alex Isak, despite Newcastle’s crazy $150m demand and their unwillingness to let him go. Liverpool will come back with the extra dollars to complete the deal.
But Inter pulled out our over $50m after initially proposing $45m? Nigerian players should instruct their agents to start looking beyond Italy.
I’m more worried about the psychological effect on Lookman and how it might affect his game, especially with SE WCQ games at our doorstep.
Hehehehe…..Lookman has bad character….LMAOoo.
Lookman is being punished for disrespecting finidi too.
Monkey fool should come and tell us more lies. We want to laugh.
Imagine the level of disrespect. Current AFOTY being priced at a less than 50m. A wide player with 20 goals and 7 assists last season. One of the cheapest forwards for his quality with a less than 100k per week wage.
It’s obvious they want to push the boy to the point of desperation…..where he will jump at any peanuts offered to him by a “big club”
Lookman…..if Galatasaray or Fernabache comes for you with a 200k per week deal…..even if it’s a loan deal…..grab it with all 4 limbs you’ve got.
You’ve got nothing to prove to anyone anymore. Enough of the scape goating. All this wahala because he refused to be made the scapegoat for the loss in a match he came on as a sub and still scored….???!
Go and enjoy your football in turkey while earning mega bucks and still playing in UCL and UEL
Let whoever wants to die because of that go and drink rat poison.
Hate generalising but have to say, Italians are cunning and cheap. They expect loyalty yet don’t have any. No wonder Italian football is a shadow of itself.
45mil for Lookman?!
Just wow.
