Atalanta BC are insisting on the €50m price tag they slammed on top striker Ademola Lookman.
Reports from Italy on Friday says Atalanta have turn their back on the €42m plus €3m in add-ons, bid from Inter and the Milan based club is ending their pursuit of the Super Eagles player who has agreed personal terms to move to San Siro.
According to Atalanta officials the Inter bid does not meet their expectations and they are not about to accept a lower price. This is partly because Atalanta need to pay RB Leipzig 10 percent of profits from any sale of Lookman.
Meanwhile miffed by the move by Atalanta Lookman has removed all traces of the Bergamo club from his social media profiles. His desires to leave Atalanta has been well reported after his fall with former coach Gian Piero Gasperini.
Atalanta are still willing to let him go but only for €50m.
