Atalanta President Rules Out Lookman Move Amid Napoli Links

Atalanta President Luca Percassi has dismissed renewed speculation linking Ademola Lookman with a move to Napoli, stressing the Super Eagles star is not leaving the club.

Napoli had shown interest in the former Fulham winger during the summer window, but Lookman turned them down as he hoped to join Inter Milan. Atalanta also made it clear he would not join another Italian rival.

After an impressive AFCON 2025 tournament in Morocco, where the 2024 CAF Player of the Year registered the most goal contributions, Lookman is again attracting attention.

Napoli, out of the Champions League and seeking reinforcements for the league, are reportedly considering a loan bid.

However, Percassi played down exit rumours, saying: “Does Lookman stay until the end of the season?...We just want to do well.”

Coach Raffaele Palladino says Lookman’s limited starts are due to workload management.
