Juric unsure on Lookman´s Atalanta future amid Inter links

Atalanta boss Ivan Juric hopes to see more incomings before the end of the transfer deadline but said he is unsure about the future of Ademola Lookman with just a few days left of the window.

Lookman has been training separately from the rest of the squad as he looks to force through a move to Inter, who had a bid rejected at the end of last month.

Atalanta’s chief executive, Luca Percassi, stated that there had been an agreement that the Nigerian international would only leave for a club outside of Italy’s top league.

Juric is hesitant over whether the forward will still make the move before the window shuts, or if he can be reintegrated into the squad for the season ahead.

“I don’t know anything about Lookman,” said the Croatian at his pre-match press conference.

“It’s difficult to hazard a guess on what will happen or if he will remain.”

Nevertheless, Juric was hopeful of more signings to freshen up the squad as they look to compete on multiple fronts.

He said: “I think that could still get some more moves done before the transfer deadline.”
