Super Eagles star Ademola Lookman is facing legal trouble in Italy as Atalanta has taken him to court over his transfer.
The 27-year-old forward, who joined Atalanta from German club RB Leipzig in 2022, is at the centre of a dispute involving his former team. Reports say the Italian side is arguing over payments and agreements linked to the deal that brought Lookman to Bergamo.
Lookman has been a key player for Atalanta, scoring important goals and helping them win the Europa League last season. His hat-trick in the final against Bayer Leverkusen made him a hero among fans and boosted his reputation in Europe.
Despite his success on the pitch, the legal issue is now hanging over his future. The case is being heard by a sports tribunal, and it could determine whether Atalanta will face fines, make extra payments, or even be forced into other sanctions.
So far, neither Lookman nor the club has made any public statement about the case. Fans are now waiting to see how the legal battle will affect the Nigerian star’s career in Italy.
