Lookman Ready For ‘Total War' With Atalanta To Force Through Transfer To Inter Milan
Ademola Lookman is reportedly ready for 'total war' with Atalanta to force through a move to Inter Milan this summer. This according to Italian broadcaster SportItalia, via FCInterNews. They report that the 27-year-old's social media antics may just be the start of his efforts to put pressure on La Dea. Ademola Lookman has not exactly hidden how he feels about Atalanta rejecting a €45 million for him from Inter. The Nigerian international, who has already agreed personal terms with the Nerazzurri, responded on social media. Lookman deleted all traces of Atalanta from his Instagram account. This included blacking out his profile picture, and removing photos where he is in an Atalanta shirt.

(Photo by Pier) Clearly, Lookman is upset with Atalanta for sandbagging Inter's offers to sign him. Therefore, the former RB Leipzig forward is aiming to force his club's hand by kicking up a fuss with moves like scrubbing his current employers from his social media account. However, reports SportItalia, this may just be the beginning. So far, Lookman hasn't directly taken any public shots at Atalanta – even if his social media move was not exactly subtle. But in the next week or two, things could come to a head even further. Atalanta already know that they have a highly awkward situation on their hands. And one that threatens to destabilize their dressing room. According to SportItalia, Lookman will dig in his heels even more. He is ready for 'total war' until Atalanta sell him to Inter.

Revealed – When Inter Milan Will Start Contract Extension Talks With Davide Frattesi
Inter Milan will start contract extension talks with midfielder Davide Frattesi in September. This according to today's print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews. They report that the 25-year-old's wages could rise to €3.4 million net per season. For months, it had seemed all but inevitable that Davide Frattesi would leave the club this summer. And had Simone Inzaghi stayed on as coach, that would have been the case. There was a rift between he and Frattesi. However, Inzaghi decided to leave Inter in search of big money at Al-Hilal. Cristian Chivu arrived to replace him on the Inter bench. Inter To Start Contract Talks With Davide Frattesi In September MILAN, ITALY – FEBRUARY 25: Hakan Calhanoglu of FC Internazionale celebrates scoring his team's second goal with teammate Davide Frattesi during the Coppa Italia Quarter Final match between FC Internazionale and SS Lazio at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on February 25, 2025 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) Now that Chivu is in charge, plans have changed completely for Davide Frattesi. This about face has a lot to do with the role that the Romanian coach sees for the 25-year-old. Frattesi never quite fit in to the midfield trio in Inzaghi's 3-5-2 system. The previous coach demanded that his midfielders be capable of just about everything on the pitch. On the other hand, Chivu is ready to shift to using attacking midfielders. He'll aim to implement a 3-4-2-1 system with two central players behind one strikers. And in that formation, Frattesi can shine more. Therefore, Inter are actually now ready to offer a new contract to Frattesi. His current deal runs out at the end of June 2028. Frattesi currently earns €2.8 million net per season. Tuttosport report that the Nerazzurri will offer increased wages of €3.4 million net per season. Meanwhile, Inter are not going to begin the talks right away this summer, Tuttosport anticipate. Rather, the Nerazzurri will wait until the season starts and the transfer window closes to begin talks with Frattesi's representatives.
