Atalanta CEO Luca Percassi has opened up on Ademola Lookman’s transfer demands, Prompt News reports.
Lookman submitted a transfer request on Sunday after Atalanta failed to accept Inter Milan’s bid to sign him.
The Nigeria international believed Inter’s €45m offer is suitable enough.
La Dea are however holding out for higher fee.
“It’s a good opportunity to clarify what happened,” Percassi was quoted by TMW
“Last year, after a 20 million offer from PSG, the player had asked us to be sold.
“Atalanta, being a credible club, had promised to sell the player this window based on two conditions that he himself had asked of us: First, to go to a super, top European club, and that he would never be seen in Italy wearing a shirt other than Atalanta’s, given what he did for the club and what he received from the club.
“Today, as you know, the situation is very different. The club is always careful when evaluating the value and timing of its players, but as always, it is Atalanta, the club, that decides.”
