Lookman, Bisseck and Pavard: Inter Milan’s transfer market tensions

Lookman skips Atalanta training in protest as Inter Milan monitor the situation, while Bisseck and Pavard also remain in the transfer spotlight

Ademola Lookman is heading for a clash with Atalanta. The Nigerian forward did not show up at Zingonia for training — a clear signal of a break with the Atalanta environment. All eyes are now on Inter Milan, who are expected to make another move.

Fabrizio Romano, speaking on YouTube via Fcinter1908, offered an update on the Lookman situation:

“There are no new updates on the Inter Milan–Atalanta front, but Percassi has spoken, and his statements were very clear. 

He mentioned a pact with Lookman, but Atalanta’s position is that the agreement was to sell him only abroad. 

This was the detail Percassi referred to, confirming — as we reported a year ago — that PSG had shown interest and were close to signing Lookman. 

Now, the situation is different. Lookman did not show up at Zingonia: he’s drawing a line, taking a firm stance with Atalanta.

Lookman, and those close to him, claim he tried everything to avoid this outcome, hoping the two clubs could find a respectful and elegant solution. That didn’t happen. 

After Atalanta’s official statement, Lookman is no longer training with the team, leading to a major standoff. Percassi reiterated that Atalanta will decide the timing and evaluation of any deal. Lookman responded by not turning up at training.”

Bisseck prioritises Inter Milan stay, while Pavard's future remains open

“Some Italian journalists recently reported that Bisseck had accepted an offer from Crystal Palace, but Bisseck himself sent clear signs on Instagram that this was not the case. 

He has not accepted Crystal Palace’s offer: his top priority is to remain at Inter Milan. His second priority is to play in the Champions League, and third, to be part of Germany’s World Cup squad — his ultimate goal in terms of professional growth.

He is not in advanced talks with Palace. They’ve been trying for a long time to convince both Inter Milan and Bisseck, but there is no agreement with either. 

Should another club make a significant offer to both Inter Milan and the player, the door remains slightly open for Bisseck — as it does for Pavard. 

The situation with Bisseck is still ongoing, but as of now, he has not accepted Palace’s offer, and negotiations are still in the early stages.”
