[bit.ly](https://bit.ly/Bet9jaPromotionCodeYOHAIG)<br>Ademola Lookman is expected to leave Atalanta this summer following a public dispute with head coach Gian Piero Gasperini. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the club had already planned Lookman’s departure, and recent tensions have only accelerated the process.
<br>
<br>The Super Eagles forward has been a key player for Atalanta since he arrived in 2022, playing a crucial role in their 2024 Europa League triumph, where he scored a hat-trick in the final against Bayer Leverkusen. However, his relationship with Gasperini reportedly broke down after Atalanta’s Champions League exit to Club Brugge. The manager publicly criticised Lookman’s penalty taking ability, which the player found [disrespectful](https://azbongda.com/index.php/Th%C3%A0nh_vi%C3%AAn:VernellWinder52).

<br>With interest from top European clubs, Lookman is expected to move to a team competing in the Champions League, where he can find a more supportive environment to continue his development.

<br>Ademola Lookman’s fallout with Gian Piero Gasperini signals the end of his time at Atalanta, and while leaving may not have been his [initial](https://wiki-staging.jgtitleco.com/index.php?title=User:SantosKirklin0) plan, it could be the right move for his career.
<br>
<br>No player thrives in an environment where their confidence is publicly undermined. Gasperini’s comments on Lookman’s penalty taking ability, particularly after a tough Champions League elimination, were [unnecessary](https://wikifirearm.org/wiki/User:LisaSweatman5) and could affect the forward’s morale. A fresh start at a club where he is valued could be the boost he needs to elevate his game even further.
<br>
<br>Lookman’s impressive performances in Serie A and the Europa League have made him a [sought-after](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/news/interviews/sunday-oliseh-names-festus-onigbinde-worst-coach-in-super-eagles-history/) talent. With calibre teams reportedly interested, this summer could be the perfect time for him to take the next step in his career. If he joins a club that plays to his strengths, he could become an even bigger asset for both his new team and the Super Eagles.
