Super Eagles winger Ademola Lookman has taken to social media to speak out against his club, accusing Atlanta of blocking an opportunity for him to leave.
Baring his mind on Sunday, Lookman alleged that he had been treated poorly while revealing that he had submitted an official transfer request.
According to the Nigerian, he and Atlanta management had agreed that it was the right time and they “were clear with me that if a fair offer came in, they would allow me to move”.
Lookman added that Atlanta had refused to honour the agreement despite receiving “an offer in alignment to what I believe had been discussed”.
“As a result and after many months of broken promises and what I feel has been poor treatment towards me as both a human being and as a professional footballer, sadly, I feel I have no choice but to speak out for what I believe is right, and I feel that enough is enough.
“I can confirm I have now handed in a formal transfer request.
“Even throughout the extremely difficult moments I’ve endured, many of which have remained private and confidential, I have always tried to put the club, the fans and the team first and hoped it would not get to this, but I unfortunately feel there is now little choice,” he said.
The development comes after Lookman deleted all posts related to Atalanta on his Instagram page.
Additionally, he deleted the team’s name from his bio and unfollowed the club.
Inter Milan had submitted an offer to sign the 27-year-old Nigerian, but Atlanta rejected the bid.
