While the football world has been captivated by the Alexander Isak transfer saga, a parallel drama has been quietly simmering in the background with Ademola Lookman at its center.

The Nigerian winger has expressed his firm desire for a new chapter away from Atalanta this summer. Yet, as the transfer window hurtles toward its conclusion, much like his Swedish counterpart, Lookman finds himself in a state of limbo, still on the club's books. The situation is shrouded in such uncertainty that manager Ivan Jurić has openly confessed to being kept in the dark about the final outcome.

Adding to the intrigue, Coach Jurić elaborated on the opaque nature of the affair, stating that forecasting Lookman's future is an impossible task, leading him to avoid any predictions whatsoever.

In his own words: "I anticipate we will complete a few more arrivals before the deadline. Regarding Lookman—I truly have no idea; it is profoundly difficult to predict the next development or if he will even remain with us," Jurić admitted.

This stalemate follows a significant act of defiance from the player earlier this month. After formally requesting a transfer, Lookman was notably absent from training sessions for a period without authorization, a move that prompted the club to exercise its right to withhold his wages in response.
