Ademola Lookman Sparks Exit Rumours After Unfollowing Atalanta on Instagram
Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman has sparked fresh rumours about his future after unfollowing Atalanta on Instagram and removing all photos of himself in the club’s jersey.
The development comes only days after Lookman was involved in a heated exchange with Atalanta manager Ivan Jurić during their 1-0 victory over Olympique Marseille in the UEFA Champions League.
Fans were quick to notice the changes on the Nigerian’s verified Instagram account on Saturday. The move has fuelled widespread speculation that Lookman may be unhappy at the club and could be pushing for an exit.
Reports suggest tension has been building between Lookman and Atalanta’s management since the summer, when the club reportedly blocked several transfer moves despite interest from top European sides.
The 28-year-old, who has been one of Atalanta’s standout performers since joining the club, is believed to have grown frustrated with how he has been treated. Similar issues were reported under former manager Gian Piero Gasperini, who once publicly criticised him for missing a penalty.
The situation appeared to worsen after Lookman’s public disagreement with Jurić on the touchline in the win against Marseille.
His recent social media activity has now intensified speculation that he could leave the club when the January transfer window opens.
Several European clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur and Atlético Madrid, are said to be monitoring the situation closely.
Lookman has scored 53 goals and provided 25 assists for Atalanta, becoming one of their most consistent attacking players.
So far, neither the club nor the player has made any official comment, but signs suggest that a split could be on the horizon as tensions continue to rise in Bergamo.
