Despite fighting a move to Old Trafford, the Montenegrin attacker will now have to put his dream on hold after he has sealed a switch to Italian Rivals Atalanta. The Serie A -side has paid £ 22 million for its services, while Krstovic Pen put on paper on its switch.

After scoring 52 goals before the Italian side in the past three seasons and helped them to win the Europa League in 2024, he tried to remove a move in the midst of Inter Milan's interest.
Lookman recently went to Instagram with an explosive statement that confirmed that he had submitted a transfer search. He wrote: “Countless clubs have been approached in the past and I have always remained loyal.
“I and the ownership of the club, however, agree that it is now the right time and that the club was clear to me that if an honest offer came in, they would allow me to move.
“Despite the fact that he now receives an offer in coordination with what I think the club has unfortunately been discussed, the club blocks the chance for reasons I don't understand.

“As a result and after many months of broken promises and what I think there has been a bad treatment for me if both a person and as a professional football player, I unfortunately have the feeling that I have no choice but to say for what I think is good and I think enough is enough. I can confirm that I have now handed a formal transfer request.”
Atalanta CEO Luca Percassi has recently been opened about the situation and claimed that the club would like to sell – but only for their price and not for a direct rival. He said: “It is a good opportunity to clarify what happened. Last year the player had asked us to be sold after an offer of 20 million from PSG.
“Atalanta, as a credible club, had promised to sell the player on the basis of two conditions that he himself asked of us: first, to go to a super, top European club, and that he would never wear a shirt other than Atalanta in Italy, given what he did for the club and what he received from the club.
“Today, as you know, the situation is very different. The club is always careful when evaluating the value and timing of its players, but as always it is Atalanta, the club, that decides.”
