Today for Atalanta, Italy, wahala dey as Inter Milan dey wait for response regarding dem pursuit of Nigerian star, Ademola Lookman. Na this week dem go hit Atalanta with dia offer, but e be like say dem dey drag feet for big money matter. (Chai, money wey dey sweet pass palm wine, but e be like say dem no just wan part with am.)
Atalanta dey hold strong for dia €50 million price tag for Lookman. Dem don even start to eye Liverpool winger, Federico Chiesa, as plan B once Lookman pack him load comot. E mean say if Lookman wan leave, dem go need plenty cash and quick quick decisions like fresh pepper-soup.
Inter now dey aware say dem need come make dem own bid land around €50 million if dem wan seal the deal. Even as dem don toss dem €40 million offer, Atalanta no wan hear any story wey no go reach dia target. (E be like say dem sabi say fine things no dey cheap for Italian market.)
Meanwhile, Napoli don show say dem no get interest for Lookman again. No be say dem no sabi good player o, but dem don waka pass. So right now, na Inter only remain for the race to grab this latest African Ballon d’Or winner. If dem no fit meet Atalanta for dia demand, dem fit quickly see Chiesa don land before dem know wetin dey happen.
Federico Chiesa self don waka enter small shakara as e don score two goals and serve two assists for Liverpool this season. E never even full season, and e don dey give am more reason to look for new adventure. (E no too good to dey permanent bench, no be so?)
As e be, we fit only de watch how the matter go play out. Will Inter finally find dia sweet spot to snap up Lookman, or Atalanta go just cold like ice water? Stay tuned, my padi!
