Ademola Lookman’s reported decision to leave Atalanta definitely feels like a significant moment, especially considering how instrumental he’s been to their campaign. Leading the Serie A player ratings alongside Nico Paz with a 6.52 average shows just how consistent and impactful he’s been — not just for Atalanta, but across the entire league.
What’s interesting is how it’s described as a “gentleman’s agreement”. That suggests mutual respect and understanding between the player and the club — no drama, no forced exit, just a natural progression in his career. It also hints that the move may have been in the works for a while, especially since there was already talk of a transfer a year ago.
And with Atalanta still in the mix for European spots, his departure (if confirmed) could reshape their attack. He’s been one of their most productive forwards.
As for where he might go next — that’s the million-dollar question. A player with his pace, flair, and finishing touch could fit well in the Premier League (where he’s already played with Fulham, Everton, and Leicester), or possibly make a big-money move to another top European club in Spain or Germany.
Do you have a club in mind you think would be a perfect fit for Lookman? Or maybe you’re hoping he comes back to the Premier League?
