In a statement on Instagram, Lookman explained his decision to leave Atalanta. He stated that he has given his all to the club over the past three years, not just as a player but also as a person. He has worn the Atalanta jersey with pride and has tried to represent the club and the city of Bergamo with heart, passion, and dedication.

Lookman mentioned that he came to Atalanta with the hope of helping the club grow, and together, they have created memories that he will cherish forever. He won the Europa League with the club and celebrated the night in Dublin with his teammates and fans, which was one of the best moments of his career.

Lookman expressed his love and appreciation for Atalanta and its fans, who have become a part of him. He felt at home from day one and has always tried to reciprocate the love, even when it wasn't easy behind the scenes.

However, Lookman stated that he feels it's time to move on and embark on a new adventure. He mentioned that several clubs have approached Atalanta in the past, but he has always chosen to stay loyal. The club's owners and Lookman agreed that it was time to leave, and he was told that if a fair offer was made, he would be allowed to leave.

Despite receiving an offer that corresponds to what was agreed upon, Lookman expressed his disappointment that the club is rejecting it for reasons he doesn't understand. He feels that he has been treated unfairly and has no choice but to speak out for what he believes is right.

Lookman apologized to the fans for the situation and expressed his hope that they can understand the difficulty of the situation. He hopes that they can work together with the club to find an amicable solution for all parties involved as soon as possible.

Lookman ended his statement with love and gratitude, thanking the fans for their support and the bond they have created.
