Lookman and the recurring stomach aches. It was August 17, 2024, when Ademola first showed signs of a ‘stomach ache’ caused by the strong call of PSG. At that time, Luis Enrique’s team had no idea they would go on to complete a season full of success. Back then, tensions between the Nigerian and La Dea eased without raising much dust.
A few training sessions separately, and then it was peace again. About a year later, here we are again. History has repeated itself. This time, however, the player has raised his voice, publicly demanding a transfer. Not a great move. The reality is different from the virtual world; problems are solved with professionalism and direct confrontation between all parties.
Ademola returned on August 19, without even giving notice. With a spirit of service below zero, showing no respect for all those who pay his salary on time. He clung to promises written in the sand (like the famous ‘I love you’) advised by agents who deserve a bad grade; two, and I’m being generous, for handling this matter. After the social media storm, Lookman deleted jerseys and commemorative photos from social media, but his actions made things even worse.
I’m light-years away from those who claim that his contract will be adjusted, that an agreement will be found and that things will move along. What we are talking about here is a door slammed shut, a boulder crushing the Percassi family without the slightest scruple, a player who doesn’t even bother to notify when he’s coming back, as Atalanta had no idea he’d show up on August 19. Just unreliable.

Let’s face it. It’s not like we’ll stop watching football or turn to another sport without Lookman. If he were reinstated, by…
