Atalanta supporters have expressed anger toward Nigerian striker Ademola Lookman after Croatian manager Ivan Juric brought him back into first team training sessions. The fans displayed a public banner calling the player ungrateful for his recent actions. Lookman had avoided team training sessions following the conclusion of the previous season when he attempted to secure a transfer during the summer window. The striker submitted an official transfer request after Atalanta rejected a 45 million euro bid from Inter Milan. He then criticized the club through social media posts that contained direct accusations against the organization.
The Nigerian international spent several weeks in the United Kingdom during the team preparation phase before returning to Bergamo just five days prior to the new league season opening. Juric responded by removing Lookman from match squads until making the recent decision to welcome him back into training activities. Supporters made their feelings clear through street messages that specifically referenced his jersey number while maintaining their view of his behavior as ungrateful toward the club.
