Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman has missed his second training session as his feud with his current club, Atalanta, continues, reports goal.com.
 
According to Gazzetta de Italia, Lookman, who was absent from Monday afternoon’s training session, skipped yesterday’s session too, as a protest against Atalanta’s refusal to grant a transfer to Inter Milan.  The reports said that the player, who is currently down with a calf injury, was scheduled for an individual training session.
 
Lookman submitted a transfer request after Atalanta rejected two Inter bids worth €40 million (£35m/$46m) and €45 million (£39m/$52m). However, his plea fell on deaf ears, and the player took to social media, accusing Atalanta of turning back on an agreement.

 Atalanta CEO Luca Percassi responded in a press conference, saying the agreement was brought into existence last year when they rejected an offer from Paris Saint-Germain, and stated that he can only move to a top team outside Serie A.
 
The player and the club now stand on opposite paths, and as a protest, Lookman is avoiding heading to the training ground, where fans have put up banners against him. Inter, on the other hand, are set to prepare a new bid for their key target.
 
The Nigerian wrote in a recent social media post: “Despite now receiving an offer in alignment with what I believe had been discussed, sadly the club are blocking the opportunity for reasons I do not understand. As a result and after many months of broken promises and what I feel has been poor treatment towards me as both a human being and as a professional footballer, sadly, I feel I have no choice but to speak out for what I believe is right, and I feel that enough is enough.” If everything goes well in Lookman’s favour, he’ll be joining Inter on an annual salary of €4.5m. His contract is expected to be until 2030.
