Atalanta supporters have expressed their frustration with Nigerian winger Ademola Lookman after he pushed to leave the club during the summer transfer window.
A banner displayed by fans in Bergamo plainly stated, "No. 11 reintegrated but for us, you remain ungrateful," signaling the sour sentiment among sections of the Atalanta fanbase.
Lookman was involved in a transfer saga after Atalanta refused to allow him to join Inter Milan, despite the Nigerian submitting a transfer request and briefly going AWOL in an attempt to force a move.
The 27-year-old has since returned to the squad and is expected to make his first appearance of the Serie A season against Torino.
Lookman’s standoff with Atalanta earlier included accusations of poor treatment by the club and frustration over failed transfer promises, resulting in disciplinary actions including fines and temporary exclusion from training squads.
The situation reflects ongoing tensions between Lookman and the club hierarchy, with fans taking a critical stand against his conduct despite his acknowledged talent and integration into the team.
