Atalanta CEO Luca Percassi has sent a clear message to Nigeria international Ademola Lookman, insisting that the winger must show full commitment before he can be reintegrated into the team.

La Dea’s season has been overshadowed by the ongoing transfer saga involving Lookman, who reportedly attempted to force a move to Serie A rivals Inter Milan during the summer transfer window.

The 27-year-old was absent from training for two weeks and has yet to fully regain his place in the squad.

Speaking to reporters, Percassi admitted that Lookman’s quality is not in doubt but stressed that playing for Atalanta requires complete focus.

Lookman’s attitude in training has been called into question in recent weeks, with head coach Ivan Juric making it clear he will not beg the winger to return to the fold.
