Atalanta CEO Luca Percassi has stated that the club would be open to having Ademola Lookman return, but only if the player demonstrates a change in attitude.
The club’s season has been overshadowed by the ongoing transfer controversy surrounding Lookman.
The Nigerian forward attempted to engineer a move to Inter Milan over the summer and was absent from training for two weeks in an effort to force the transfer.
Since then, the 27-year-old has not been fully welcomed back into the team, with reports suggesting his demeanor in training has been less than satisfactory.
Head coach Ivan Juric recently remarked that he has no intention of pleading with the winger to return to the squad.
Percassi emphasized that Lookman needs to prove he is committed and truly wants to represent the club again.
“You cannot go back and change the past, so we will focus on the present and future. We all know how good Ademola is, but also that in order to play for Atalanta, you must be 100 per cent focused,” Percassi told Sky Sport Italia.
“When he feels ready to do that, we are waiting for him with open arms.”
