Atalanta rejected Inter’s offer, but Christian Chivu’s side are preparing another offer as La Dea want around €50m for the former Everton forward.
According to FCInterNews, Lookman returned to training with the rest of his Atalanta teammates and suffered a nasty calf injury while kicking a ball in training.
The severity of Lookman‘s injury is currently unknown and he’ll undergo medical tests today to get results.
Lookman will be hoping the injury doesn’t affect his prospective transfer to Inter following the intense transfer speculation recently.
In three years with Atalanta, the England-born Nigerian scored 53 goals and provided 21 assists in 118 games across all competition.
Inter Milan need new legs afters they parted ways with Marco Arnautovic. Additionally, Lookman will be a viable option in attack for the aging Mehdi Taremi.
