Atalanta chief Luca Percassi has laid down two conditions for Ademola Lookman to leave the club amid keen interest from Inter Milan.

The reigning African Footballer of the Year has made his intentions to leave the club very clear after handing in a transfer request.

This comes in the wake of Atalanta's rejection of Inter Milan's €45 million offer.

The Super Eagles winger has accused the Bergamo-based club of sabotaging his exit.

In a statement via his Instagram handle, Lookman revealed that he had a gentleman's agreement with the club to leave this summer.

Addressing the dispute between Lookman and Atalanta, club CEO Luca Percassi revealed that both parties had agreed not to sell Lookman to a top European club outside Serie A.

“It’s a good opportunity to clarify what happened,” Percassi was quoted by TMW.

“Last year, after a 20 million offer from PSG, the player had asked us to be sold.

“Atalanta, being a credible club, had promised to sell the player this window based on two conditions that he himself had asked of us: First, to go to a super, top European club, and that he would never be seen in Italy wearing a shirt other than Atalanta’s, 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.”
